Teaser: Greece, Melnik, and a big deep Hole

We are back from Thessalonikki round two. Our new Bulgarian visas now occupy a full page of our rapidly declining passport space, and a giant Greek chocolate dipped fruit bread (at least we hope it's fruit bread, it could be a braided bread shaped block of metal under all that chocolate) is waiting to go with us to Cat's Canadian Thanksgiving party on Sunday. One rooster, three sheep, two cows, one bull, and a half dozen goats shared our road on the way home, but we stayed relatively cheerful singing along to the radio "...Turn around, bright eyes..." and, in my case, attempting to read stage notes on Shakespeare for the Othello unit coming Monday whether I'm ready or not. 

The purpose of this post is not so much to tell you about the trip, as to tell you that I'm going to tell you about the trip. And post pictures. Lots of telling. Lots of pictures. But until I do (soon), I leave you with this question... where is the big deep hole? How did I get in there? How did I escape? This is called "a cliffhanger" and leaves the reader (that's you) eager for more. So keep on visiting the blog to find out more - we broke 2000 this week! Whoo hoo!

Goodnight. Try not to dream about the mafia kidnapping you like I did on Wednesday night. Instead, dream about going on a morning walk in Greece, like I did last night. Start with a narrow street, crowded with fruit stalls, the sun rising behind a hill overflowing with houses...
