On the road still: This is Sparta

hawkwing_lbThis morning, discussion with old Greek lady, mother of hotel manager, about politics and economy. My Greek improves but is inadequate to the task.
Today we drove through olive groves. Lots of them. There were a couple of archaeological sites: I do not remember the second one real well, thanks to it being 41C and me being about ready to pass out. Even though I was guiding it. Messene. The stadium was amazing, and the fortification wall!
(The olive groves, some of them, had sheep under them. One had a sign for Polyphemos' Farm. For some reason I thought of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stillsostrange. They were cute sheep.)
From there, long bus journey between the Messenian plain and the Lakonian. The pass through the Taygetos Mountains defies my fuzzy-brained (I did not sleep much last night: no a/c, ground floor window open onto road) ability to describe. FUCKING AWESOME might do it as an adjective.
Now in Sparta, with the miracle of working internet and working a/c. I has the sleepy. Also the sticky.
How goes the life of you?
