PRESPA LAKE PICNIC AND THESSALONIKI !!

6 JULY 2012 PRESPA LAKE PICNIC AND THESSALONIKI!! On Wednesday, we had a very happy Independence Day outing with our Blind Group to Prespa Lake. This was a very beautiful venue. The day was cool by the lakeside, with a refreshing breeze. For the group they said it was like a wedding. They sang, danced and four swam, while all enjoyed a delightful picnic! This time in the group we were 21 and all went well, thank God. Yesterday, Lalini and I had an early start for Thessaloniki. We left at 6.30a.m., and the two Border Controls went smoothly, without delay. Greece is an hour ahead and we arrived in nice time. Greece is very hot now - temperature was 39 degrees for a few hours in the afternoon. A note from Athens had informed me that my friend, Marieta, would be at Thessaloniki. I met with her and with her daughter, Thea. We visited a friend of hers and then left for Korce. Our journey back was completed in daylight and I arrived here at dusk - 8.30p.m. Usually, in July, there is less group activity. We had no internet today. Our local server told us the problem was in Tirana and was repaired there! It is back now and emails are arriving - one to tell me I will have a group of 16 overnight - later on! Their hotel does not supply food so meals will be here!!! Never a dull moment! Have a great weekend and every blessing on the coming week.
