A street juggler at an intersection we cross when we walk to church. When the light changes, he steps out in front of the cars and does his little act, then goes to the car windows with his hat held out for money. We admire him for being enterprising. Many people just beg at stop lights, some wash windows, some hand out flyers, etc.
A little cemetery in a village by Drama. This is typical of the cemeteries we have seen here. The headstones/markers are very elaborate.


This was a little boy trying to fly his kite on the seafront on our windless "Clean Monday." This Monday is the day that marks the end of the Carnival season and begins what we would call Lent--the 40 days preceding Easter.


We thought the grandkids might enjoy seeing this phone booth. This is along the seafront in Kavala.



This is a picture of Elder and Sister Taylor, who are serving in Athens. They stayed with us for the weekend and spoke in our Sacrament meeting, then we went to Kavala with them on P-Day, where Sister Taylor did her cooking class for the missionaries there. This is along the seafront in Kavala. Notice the ruins of the old Byzantine castle in the upper right hand corner. The old Roman acquaduct also runs along the spine of the hill.
