Greece

So I think that it is starting to set in that we are in Greece. Even though Shawn has been here for a while he was never really got to see anything. It is weird not know the language and not being able to understand what is being said around you. I am trying to pick up a few words, not quite enough to hold any sort of converation yet.
I did drive a manual car the other day. It was not bad. I didn't stall it the first time and then Shawn said "you are the only person I've seen who didn't stall it on the first try", then what happens the second time I try to start it? I stall it! Oh well, we drove around for a little bit and I have to say that I did a very good job! I still don't want to drive out in town. The roads here are really really narrow and the people drive very fast. If you go the speed limit they will pass you where ever you are, regardless if it is on a curve or if there is another car comming down the road. It is hard to get used to driving so fast.
There are olive trees all over the place and it is time to pick them. The olive pickers ( I am not sure if that is the technical term) are out with there nets gathering their olives. They don't seem too conserened about the cars on the road because they throw their nets and branches out into the road. It is fun to see.
There are a lot of great things to see here. For example, today I saw the landlord mow the lawn in a 3 three piece suit!
