Hiking in the Gorge

Kalimera (Goodmorning) Mrs. Berger and friends!

Yesterday we were hiking in a gorge in a dried up river bed. Me and my family had a lot of fun but it was a lot of work and we got tired. We hiked for 12 hours (really -- that's what my Dad told me). The hardest but funnest part of the hike was scrambling over rocks and jumping from one to the other. The highest rock was about 10 feet tall and I slide down it on my bottom. It was like a giant playground. On our walk we saw a giant beetle and a giant queen ant. They were both about one inch long. We also saw an old Greek man who had about 300 goats. We met another Greek man who carved hiking sticks from olive branches. He was really nice. I also collected a lot of really cool rocks. What's the longest hike you've ever been on?

We also went grocery shopping. We bought a sweet treat that was a wafer sandwhich with some kind of almond, honey, marshmellow center and peanuts. It was really good!

More cats today!! At our apartment in Stoupa, a cat had four baby kittens. They are about four inches long and their eyes are still closed. Their tails are about two inches long. They are VERY cute!
