Symi Geometry

A staircase to no where ?  

Elefterios Church in Chorio is having a much needed facelift.

A Carnival Event advertised on a Chorio lamp post.
Note the fire hydrant, one of the benefits of the 'continuous' water supply that was implemented a few years ago.

The whole of Greece ground to a standstill yesterday as a violent southerly Force 9 storm passed over the country. Flights and ferries were disrupted and visibility dropped to only a few metres in the thick cloud of Saharan sand. According to one of my sources a small canine visitor was literally blown off his feet in Harani yesterday.

Today is almost as murky as yesterday was but at least the wind has dropped for a while.  Temperatures have fallen slightly and it will probably only be 9 degrees on Symi tonight. Red rain is forecast for today and Saturday and it is dripping slightly now.  Further strong winds are expected on Sunday and it is likely to be quite breezy for the Clean Monday holiday.

Have a good weekend.  I will be back on Tuesday.

Regards,

Adriana

PS Happy birthday to Toby who is celebrating tomorrow here in Symi.  His actual birthday will be celebrated on a lovely romantic holiday with his partner.
