Walk to the beach area, yesterday. The weather was not very warm and the waves larger than you would like breaking on you. We walked to the far end of the beach, where the mountain water, flows down in the beach water. Telia felt compelled to cross over to the small island, that the water makes. Of course she got here shoes wet, they were not dry enough for the walk today. I made her, to wear cold, wet shoes.
The weather has been cooler than we like. We did get out today and purchased some food supplies. When 6 people need 3 meals per day, it’s not uncommon to frequent the grocery store, more often.
Tomorrow should be warmer and we will be getting out and walking farther.
Tomorrow I will be securing the transportation to our next country. I have communicated with the bus company, that goes into Albania, from Athens Greece. They said they will be willing to stop into the town we are located. Just need to secure seats and figure out paying them. I am not interested in giving my card number over the phone. So we will need to figure that portion out. I am sure it will be easier, than I assume it to be.
Everyday the snow on the mountains, surrounding the town, we are in, is getting more and more covered. It needs to stay away. If I have already said that, it’s because I mean it.

Not a fan of colder weather. Today is one of those, stay inside, type of days. Cold and windy. Did I mention that the wind is cold?
All of the stores were closed yesterday, the 26th. Seems odd to be closed for Christmas and the day after. Lucky we have enough supplies. I am trying to convince myself not to go to the grocery store today. We don’t need anything, though I am sure I could find something.
Just sitting here, looking out the patio window. We see snow has covered many of the mountain ranges, in the distance. Lots of cloud cover, with patches of sun leaking through.
Ok, I am going to brave the cold wind and get some crackers, bread and coffee.

Well we did do gifts for our kids. I am sure it’s not the same as what you got or gave.
Treven got some crafting supplies. Pipe cleaners and pop sickle sticks
Thane got a Pencil and a box of tea.
Telia and Tate both got small packets of condensed milk.
May not seem like a lot. Though the children will have this as good memory. Gifts have never been a main portion of our celebration.
We also did pick up some more jackets, some sweatshirts and sweatpants. It’s funny how close everyone is in sizes. Tate and I can share clothes and the rest are close enough.
Today we had a little adventure with the electrical panel, in this apartment. We had to turn the power off for most of the day. The owner had to bring in an electrician and a roofer to fix the issue. It is an adventure in itself. He was great and went above to solve this problem.
For food, I made omelettes for breakfast.
Because of the power issues we skipped lunch. For supper Shanda made cheesy potatoes, coleslaw and chickpea sandwiches.
Tonight we will possibly make an Apple crumble.
Enjoy your ways of celebrating today

Shanda and I walked to a few stores in town. We were looking for a few small items for the children. We did find a few small things and a few needed items. This will be some sort of gift to them. When all your worldly possessions are carried on your back, choices have to be made.

They have a tradition in Greece, called Kalanda-On Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and Epiphany Eve (January 5) children in Greece go door to door, with their triangles, asking for permission to sing carols.
They specifically say the phrase Na ta poume? (shall we sing?)
When the homeowner or business owners opens the door, the children start singing.
When they finish the song, they are rewarded with coins.
We were able to experience this first hand. Every store we went to, had children coming in. They only sing one, very short song. It seems to be one of those traditions that is losing acceptance, at least in this small town.
Shanda and I gathered the last of the food supplies, to carry us until the 26th. Our plan is to eat a few, larger meals, on Christmas. Not necessarily traditional, just comfort foods.
The mountains around us are covered in snow. As much as I despise snow and cold, I hope it does not get any closer to us.
Tonight we had pizza and french fries. The problem is we only have the ability to cook one pizza at a time. So in our, true fashion, we cooked a pizza and cut it into 6 pieces, ate our piece while the next pizza cooked. We then shared that pizza. After the third pizza, we cooked the french fries. Then went back to making the last three pizzas. With these pizzas being so small, this was our best option. Pizza, in any fashion or preparation, is pizza.

Took some showers, did some laundry. Not everyday is full of adventure, but it’s full of life.
We did get out to walk down the beach. Not the best weather, it was warm enough, though. Shanda and Telia ventured into the water for a few minutes.
On the way back, Tate stayed out and did some exploring on his own. He was gone for about an hour. Most likely needed to warm up.
Three days to Christmas.

The weather has been a little cooler and rainy. Only getting out of the house to shop for food and take quick walks. Really not all that much to do in this little town.
The children have been taking advantage of the money they got for Christmas. Only buying snacks and treats. With a limited amount of shopping options, they will have to save some money, for when we make it to another large city.
Well, nothing great has happened since my last post. We are just planning for our Christmas day meals.
Our main cost for this life are Housing, travel and food. So when you can’t get out because of the weather, food becomes number 1.
Hope all of you are doing well and that this finds you at peace.

The sun was out and I spent most of the day enjoying the sun, on the balcony.
After the kids finished some school, we walked down to the beach. They played and frolicked in the rocks. Shanda and I just enjoyed the little sliver of sunlight, remaining. I did walk into the water, to my ankles. I believe I could handle the temp and could swim in it, maybe
On the way back, we walked a different path. Here we ran into two different Clowders of cats. This town has got to be know for its cats, they are everywhere. All of them look fat and happy.
We had a big dog follow us back to the house, the other night. Shanda and I have seen this dog a few times. It must be a happy, town dog.
During our travels, we find money on the ground. Treven is normally the first to notice and pick it up. Today he found a large pile. Unfortunately he wanted permission to pick it up, which is not normal. Thane did not wait, therefore the money became his. Telia found a coin a few feet away. altogether it was $10. A good haul for them, to find. Poor Treven, I bet he has learned a lesson.
Part of living in AirBNB is to deal with homes that need some attention. If only I had a tool box, I could fix something in every place we have stayed. Generally we have to clean the filters in the AC/Heat units. You would be amazed at how much better these units work when they are clean.

You will notice that in some countries, we will be staying for several months. Then in other countries, we will be hurrying through.
This is because in Europe, some countries are part of the Schengen agreement. This means they all have the same Visa requirements. You can freely visit all of them, once you enter one of them. Once you enter you are allowed to stay 90 days. Once you leave, you must stay away for 90 more days, before you can enter again. This will start your next 90 days allowed, over. So that is why you see us slowing down in certain areas.

Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland have all acceded to the Schengen Agreement

Our plans of tra, are listed below. We have to take weather into account. That is why we are spending 3 months in Albania.

Greece - December 2024
Albania - January, February, March
Italy, Switzerland, Germany - April
Denmark, Sweden - May
Netherlands, Belgium, France - June
United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Ireland) - July, August, September
Poland, Czech Republic - October
Slovakia, Austria - November
Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia - December 2025
All subject to change.

The pictures show only a few buildings. In this town it is the off season and almost all buildings are vacant. It’s unique to walk past building after building and they are all empty.
This makes this the perfect time of year to visit. Calm and quiet. People walking or riding bikes. None of the busy life we have had for the last year.

Finished school and walked to the grocery store, that is furtherest from the house. Some of the prices are better, though we chose it because of its distance. We liked the location of the apartment because it’s one minute to a large grocery store. Then we walk across the whole town to get our supplies.
The temp had been colder than normal and the wind was constant, today. So the wind kept us from hanging out on the balcony, enjoying the sun.
The kids spent some of their Christmas money, from Ma and Pa. Sure hope they don’t spend it all before we move onto Albania. No one has purchased anything they really need, just the wants.
Because Tate got a new pair of pants, I got the ones that he brought with him and are now, too large.
The pants I brought with me are also to large, but I can still wear them, with a belt. The ones I got from Tate, would have been way too tight, for me, before we left. Now a belt has to be worn, to keep them up.
Tonight Shanda, while sitting around the table after supper. She is playing ‘Would you rather’. Giving two options and you choose which you would rather. Last night it was riddles.
I made popcorn, it’s not like we couldn’t have done it in Asia. It’s most likely because of how cold it is.
We miss good hot sauce and spices that were readily available in Asia.

If you missed yesterday’s post, it’s because I posted it on my personal page, sorry. Gabe Williams
The weather was not nearly as warm as we had hoped. The sun was hidden behind the clouds. So we just finished some laundry and stayed in the house all day. Unfortunately this house does not have the best way to heat it. We have an oil filled radiator. That only keeps you warm if you near it. We have a wall unit that is both ac or heat. Though the heater portion is less than desirable. So we are wrapped up in comfy blankets.
Reading books, listening to audio books and normal internet time.
Tomorrow is the first day back to a normal routine, in over a week. School starts again, along with house chores. Some type of normal, it’s important. being as normal of a life as we can have.
When we were in Athens, everyday offered something to see and do. Here in Akrata, Greece, not so much. We will be going for the walks, like normal. It looks like we might be able to walk to the next town over, following the beach.

Sorry no post yesterday. We have spent the last two exploring this new town. Yesterday we stayed near the beach. This is the off season. Many of the places are closed. This includes many of the condos in the area. So it’s nice and calm, we’re only the locals are wondering about.

Today we walked around the town, stopping at different grocery stores and few clothing stores. We also checked into what our mode of transportation is going to be, when we are ready to leave. It’s a month out, though the logistics might be a little more difficult. We have to find a ferry or bus to another city, in another country. We will have researched it enough, by then.
Treven got new shoes and a pair of sweat pants. Thane also got new shoes. Telia still needs some shoes and I need a pair of pants to replace a pair of shorts.
It is colder than we thought it was going to be. We are making do, with blankets on the couch. In the mornings we sit out on the balcony and take in the sun. Being that we are surrounded by mountains the sun takes its time to rise and sets sooner than you want.
Shanda will start school back up on Monday. They have to catch back up, a little.

We had a travel day, though only 2.5 hours. We took the Metro train to the bus station. Then a bus to our new location, Akrata, Greece.
It is a beach town and is not a well known one. We of course came in the off season. So most likely no swimming. We are staying here for a month. Catching up on some school and possibly exploring the towns around us.
Yesterday we spent our final day in Athens. We guided the children in the correct direction, though we let them lead the way. We walk around some historical sites. Visited some amazing garden areas. Ate a few more local treats and of course took in more amazing views during the hike.
We honestly know that we could have spent another week in Athens. We had already made plans to move to the new place months ago and could not change them.
I will post the video of the new place, shortly.

This is a catch up post. We have done so much exploring, it’s hard to post about all of it.
Yesterday, Myself, Telia and Shanda took a city metro and a walk. We were looking for the main bus station, to get out of Athens.
We are trying to find transportation to our next part of Greece. You would be surprised how difficult it is to find information of how to get around. We were told that a train and a bus pass through our next town. But nothing can be found online.
We get to the bus station and find that it is not really up to date, technologically . You have many different ticket booth, ran by lots of different companies. You select you destination and purchase a ticket. In normal, 1st world countries, you go to one ticket window and choose a destination. Lots of independently owned bus companies. Reminded us of the bus system in Vietnam. Lucky with our experiences, we navigated straight to the correct window and found that they have a bus that leaves every hour. If they could have explained this a little better on line. Anyway we are set to leave on Wednesday.
Today is our last day of exploring, Athens. I will put out another post, once we get back. We could have stayed here another week.

12-9-2024. Gabe. Part 2
The Parthenon-
Way too many pictures to comment on all of them. They are in order and should explain, enough. You might have to zoom in.

09/12/2024

12-9-2024. Gabe. This will have to be a two part. I have way too many pictures, to be allowed to post all at once. So these are from the ground, leading up to the very top. Part two will be the Parthenon itself.
On Sunday we went for the main tourist attraction in Athens. The Acropolis of Athens. This is the old city and the area is called the Acropolis. You can see it from most any angle within the city. The main building on top is called the Parthenon Παρθενώνας. That is part two.
Again, nothing I do really lends to how amazing this place is. Enjoy, part 2 in a few

07/12/2024

We got out and toured around part of the city. I will be dropping lots of photos, hope they make some sense.
Tomorrow we are going to the Acropolis of Athens. This, we hope is worth all the hype, as it is one of the big tourist attractions. We will then make our way around to a few more historical sites.
Way more to see than we thought. The location of our apartment is surrounded with historical sites, all within walking distance.
We will be leaving Athens next Wednesday. So we have a few days to figure out how we are even going to get there. The town is suppose to have a bus and train going near it. So we will be looking into the train. The next town is much smaller and we hope, inviting. We will spend Christmas and new years in this town.

The rain and cold, were too much for us to get out today. We did go and purchase a few items from a local supermarket. You can’t find rice in bulk here. Pasta is abundant though.
Yesterday we got out and explored many different areas. We went to the National Gardens. We looked around the Panathinaikon stadium. The back side of The temple of Zeus monument. We walked by the presidential palace, but could not see anything.
If the weather holds out we will visit a few more places tomorrow. On Sunday, the weather is going to be good, we plan on touring the main attraction.
Very much enjoying Athens. The weather is a little cooler then we would like, being that i prefer tropical conditions. I really need to get a stocking cap. My poor head is cold.
What’s odd is that everyone here is bundled up like it really cold. 55°f- 60°f is not really cold. i remember driving to work in just a good jacket and it being -29°f. Our current level of clothes are working. Though they are more suited for Tropical conditions. Lucky socks and crocks or socks and sandler are acceptable attire in Europe.

We are finally all caught up on our travels to Athens. This is the last day in Vietnam, from arriving in Ho Chi Minh to getting onto the plane, to singapore. All following posts should be current.

This is the new place. We will be here for a month. We are only two blocks from the beach. Little cold to swim, I am sure we will still spend a lot of time there, though.

National garden in Athens. This place has so much to offer. This is just a very small portion.

Tate having a clam with cheese. This was the night that we had dinner with the host of ur Da nang home. Such a wonderful experience.

Stopping g to get some food on the way to the hotel in Ho Chi Minh

Current apartment in Athens Greece. What you don’t see are the pocket doors. This place is super cute and has many cool old world features. They have sun/sound shades built into the frames of the balcony doors. You have a cable to move up and down. It’s looks and feels like garage doors. I might do a separate video

Guard duty

Some of what the guards do while on post.

Part of the changing of the guard. In front of the parliament building. I will post a longer video on Sunday. They have a whole elaborate ceremony on Sundays.

Holy Church of the Virgin Mary Gorgoepikoos and Saint Eleutherius Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας Γοργοεπηκόου και Αγίου Ελευθερίου. I loved all the carving and how the structure was made

First impression of this sleeper car. It’s small, though we are all together. This will. e better then sitting in a seat for 29 hours

Just hanging out in the park.

Upstairs Part two. This is the boys area, upstairs. This whole building is either two apartments, or as we did, one home. Both levels have a kitchen. You Share the front area and washing machine.

Part one/down stairs. This place is updated and is going to be amazing
