2 Days in the heart of Greece.,.,

Ooooo Yeeesss.,.,
You work., you work.,.,you work.,.,
even if you like your job., and be creative with it.,
everybody need to load the batteries.,.
one of my favorites ways.,is a good company.
,friends.,
motorcycles.,
and escape from city lights.,.,
out there in the countryside.,.



everywhere out there.,
where are not to many people in a small area.,


who said.,.,?

when the people are to close they hearts go far away.,
and when the people are far away they hearts coming closer.,.,,



today modern monster citys
suck our energy like a vampire.,

its 7 o;clock around the rock.,
in the morning.,
and i feel.,., like a small child hapiness and joy .,
boots.,
cloves.,
helmets.,
and all the ''space'' equipment .,explorer.,.,
its stand allready since last night.,




i begin alone .,
after became two.,
three.,



and final.,
.,in the end the team baecame nine.,,


.,.,




.,.,

at the beginning of the first day .,
we had too much rain.,.


.,
.,

this winter the rain comming very sharp.,
after long months without rain .,
the first rains is disaster for some trees that grow at the edge of cliff.,.,


.,.,

.after rain .,.everything became more clear.,
not only outside .,
but
i like the feeling inside my mind.,.,
humans forget the best ways to dissolve their problems.,
they stay like a standing rock inside they minds.,
some prefer to go to the churches.,
some others run at the psychoanalyst.,



this silly and small most of the time problems .,
seperate us from reality.,
and the real connection with mother earth.,

i find my therapy .,on the road.,
ride my motorcycle., there.,.,. outside.,.,



with the other friends.,
the meeting point is on the river.,.,he.,he.,






at the first day i ride about 500km.,


you can see the ride here but not all.,
because some roads not exist
on google maps.,

.,https://www.google.gr/maps?saddr=Νέ...U8pJASllN9Dagc5eEzGkIkzxfodVcw&t=h&mra=ls&z=9
.,
.,.,

.,.,the night come quickly at the winter time.,
we stay to sleep.,
and sat to eat.,
at the small taverna, at the village Epiniana
.,.,near warmly of the fire.,,
.companion with a good wine.,
travel and ride stories .,.,
laughter..,
, and a lot of fun.,.,.,


.,

10 liters of wine ..
we drink last night.,.,
and in the morning .,we feel like a birds.,
no headaches.,no stomachpains
for there you know if the alcool ...you drink are.,good.,.,.,



across of the village Epiniana you can look this mountain top called
the sleepining lady of Epiniana.,
because is look like the head of the woman looking the heaven.,.,



this church is at Agrafa small village.,
this villages here is famuous for its complete autonomy.,
and the reason is .,the hard way to go .,


the word Agrafa means unwritten..,
,because the Ottomans empire can not conquer
this region..and population here.,

if somebody want to read more .,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrafa

,


the rest of the day ,.,.
i remember it like a dream,.,
clounds waterfalls .,
the feeling of flying.,
amazing off roads.,
a big dose of pure oxygen.,


.,

.,.,

.,
.,



.,.,

up 2000m
the most of the top of the mountains here.,.,





.,if you want a really adventure you can find it here.,
to the road for Niala.,.
we ride about 20km at 3 hours .,
mud .,mud., mud.,
thats it .,the kids are playing..,




its long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll.,.,



.,here you can see heidenau tyres at work.,,.




.,.

sorry for my bad english writing.,.,.,

and finally i want to share.,

I'm a straight up middle of America kinda a guy, but I love Greece. Good peoples, nice beaches, and great food. When I lived there twice before I always had a motorcycle or a scooter. One of my favorite memories of Athens are watching the motorcycles line up at a red-light, then it turns green and the race is on for all the cycles. Also, the memories of riding around in a taxi with the bazuki music in the summer with the windows down. Good place to live life. Chronya Poll La. Yasou!!!
