Steps to the river

When I was last in Stoupa I passed from those steps and thought this is a funny picture. One should definitely think before making the last step!
At least there is a sign telling you where the steps are leading...

Every winter this little river - called 'To Potamaki' - appears and takes a lot of sand into the sea. In other places of the beach the sea washes this sand again onto the beach. Then in Spring a bulldozer is needed to spread the sand where needed.

The day that Albert Einstein most feared...

...has finally arrived.

A day at the beach.

A day at the beach.

Kalamata proudly presents...

ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ - FREEDOM
Kalamata, March 23rd 1821

...its very new memorial. I was passing by car today and only could take a picture with my mobile. Next time I will also read and try to translate what's written on the boards below.

Fish, fishing, seals and turtles

I recently had a talk with some foreigners who - like me - are coming to the Mani area for many, many years. The conversation after a while went to the above topic and so I thought that this would be also interesting to some of my readers:

The ten directives

The first brings appetite.
The second health.
The third brings joy.
The fourth fortune.
The fifth the conversation.
The sixth trouble.
The seventh the scuffle.
The eighth the police.
The ninth the jail.
The tenth the damage.
