Greek Dogs

I've been a bit slow with my posts about Greece, but I really needed some time to sort through my hundreds and hundreds of pictures. Anyway, here are the dogs. The whole island was swarming with the cutest strays.

They had programs that would help you adopt one and get it to your country. I was very tempted to get this black one. And I have to admit that seeing the picture again made my heart break a little. Alas!

The other dog I'll always remember is this tiny old lady. She was so old she didn't even have teeth anymore, but she was still extremely promiscuous. Also, she had a radar for cars. Whenever one came she'd get in front of it.

Prepare to let out a very big "awwwww!" now. Puppies are always adorable of course, but they really are especially irresistible when they cuddle up like this, aren't they?

The rest of my pictures from Greece will follow soon. So much more to show you!

Greek Cats pt.2: Lazy Cats

During this trip I've seen some of the most relaxed cats I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Pretty much any direction you'd look, any street you'd walk, any shop you'd enter, had a cat. A true cat lover's heaven!

Greek Cats pt.1

There were a lot of cats in Greece! There were cute cats and mean cats and it was tricky finding out in which category they belonged. On my very first night I got scratched, so from then on, instead of petting them, I took their pictures.

There will be a second -and even better- cat post later this week! This time full of lazy cats.

The Babysitters Circus - Everything's Gonna Be Alright

{pictures: all taken myself}

I'm barely settled in again, yet I already managed to get a cold. It's making me miss Greece even more. So I'm just reminiscing through pictures and the songs I kept hearing there. And keeping my fingers crossed for sunshine!

And I'm Back...

Back from paradise and straight into some hardcore fall weather. Needless to say I'm desperately clinging to that vacation feeling. Looking through the photos seems to help. Hopefully it'll stretch your summer out a bit, too!

I'll be back with some other posts -with more cohesive picture series- about my trip to Greece soon, but I thought I'd start with some general impressions to give you a little taste of what's to come when I've had a chance to sort things out.

As you can probably tell, it was pretty heavenly. Warm weather, the most gorgeous sunsets and hidden little surprises in nearly every street. Not to even mention all the adorable animals roaming the streets...

So check back soon!
