I must comment, however, about the inane AFP article about the state of Greece's beaches. I'm suspicious of the reason why this article was written. Why, for example, did they not mention that Greece has, at 425, the second highest number of "Blue Flag" (i.e. very clean) beaches in the world? Using simple math, 16 tonnes is equal to the load of about 2-3 municipal garbage trucks in a coastline that is several times the length of the Great Wall of China. I did chuckle, however, at the number of cigarette butts. I'm genuinely surprised it wasn't higher. Great job, Peter on your excellent website.

It was a very exciting moment, even if the sentence to my Greek friend was, "guess what?! I learned how to saw watermelon in Greek - karpouzi!!" I read the olive article... I hope they get people to stop cutting down those trees. They really are a part of the history and culture in the area :-\ Peter, did I mention that I used the word karpouzi in a sentence the other day?
