AND ANOTHER THREE FROM KATERINA

1. The 1896 Olympics Marle Stadium, Athens,

I ran in this Stadium (in 1986, not 1896). Compared to modern track and field stadia (?) it has an unconventional shape  - 2 very long straights, and two very short bends. I saw a group of athletes traing there and joned in. After running a few laps, I was getting used to the long straights and short bends, but then I was asked to leave as I was not a member of the training group. So I went and ran elsewhere

2. Partial view of Carystos, Greece

Michael, row the boat ashore.

I wondet what the full view of Carystos is like?

3. Paleocastritsa, Greece

No sign of Michael

INTERESTING POSTCARDS IF YOU ARE A SHEEP OR A SHEPHERD, BUT BORING POSTCARDS IF YOU ARE NEITHER

1; 'The shepherd ad his sheep', France

2. Transhumance: Arrival at Bonperrier

'Transhumance' is not some sheep re-gendering programme butis when the sheep are moved up to the mountains, and back down, again to graze.

'Bonperrier' is not some sort of special Perrier bottled water

I have counted 589 sheep here: please can one of you verify that number? Thank you.

Hello VMH,  You posted the Zanesville Airport postcard twice, and skipped the Cleveland Airport postcard.  (Not that the Zanesville postcard isn't worth posting twice!)  PMW in beautiful Ohio, USA.
