I came here to see some of my Ukrainian relatives, and it’s been good, but intense! I hadn’t seen some of them in about or even over 20 years; took the war to get us to see each other, so it’s bittersweet. I’ll be really glad to be home!

Ah, yeah, I can understand that being an intense ordeal, but I'm glad you managed to get together still! Family is family :)

Shouldn’t take too long to see it compared to the museum at the temple of Apollo

I know I was amazing, but I had no idea they made a temple for me!

I’ve been doing a lot of travelling in the last few weeks, with back-to-back journeys of Austria-Cyprus-Austria-England-Austria-Greece. Today I got up at 6am in a small seaside town in Greece, grabbed a bus to Thessaloniki, then got a train from there to Levadia. Currently waiting for a bus to take me to Delphi - the place where the Oracle of Delphi uttered prophecies for over a 1000 years (not the same person, but usually a woman over 50 years old, allegedly under the influence of hallucinogens). It was considered to be where the centre of the Earth was located. What remains today is a splendid set of ancient ruins, and a good museum. I’ll be there for probably fewer than 24 hours before making my 10-hour journey back to Thessaloniki.

The food here is good, the wine is splendid, Greece is beautiful and the people are friendly. 🙂

Most people think that the oracle was essentially an ancient astrologer/confused person, but my guess is that it was a lot more interesting than that. I’m keen to see the architecture of the place that was thought to be one of the most important places in the world for a millennium. What did it mean to build a home for the Oracle? What did they want visitors to feel? I will soon get the ghost of an idea.

How are you?

Sounds amazing! I really want to go back to Greece, as well. The ruins at the palace of Knossos, where the labyrinth housing the minotaur supposedly was, were really cool to see!

As for me, I'm rounding off my vacation week in Denmark with the kids! We have done two days at Legoland, one day at Lego House and a few days of sightseeing! We've had rain on and off the entire week, until today! So today we went to the beach! Okay temperature for swimming and some nice waves!

I’ve heard that Legoland is an awesome place for everyone from kids to adults… that’s definitely an amusement park I’d go to.

It is! They have something for everyone! Some cool rides if you like that stuff (which I do! :love ), and the miniatures of famous buildings and places are awesome!

Too bad they removed the Star Wars part here in Denmark, that one was really cool for a SW geek like myself! :nerd

I’d most certainly be one of those adults still building legos if I had the time or means, that used to be one of my favorite hobbies as a kid… the more complicated the better.

I went into the office today. My new coworker who I'm training is pretty great. He's a huge LoL nerd, PC gamer, bright, fabulous, and a hugger.

HR gave me a hard time about only coming in when they have food (we had a BBQ lunch today).

I also got to take advantage of of the "zero fare for better air" summer light rail initiative.

Checked in at the airport. Got through numerous French speaking employees without speaking a word of English with just nodding along, say few things like oui, non, and merci to them and nones the wiser about me.

How easy is it to just nod, smile and go with the flow to do things eh.

Thank God the wolf thread is on night phase for 12 hours and I can turn push notifications back on. I'm sipping some mezcal before I call it an early night, gotta be back at work before the wolf thread reopens, even.
