An early morning calls for coffee. The groups had to be out of the house by 10:30am. That’s not that early, but we had to get up early for packing and cleaning. I posted a few more additions to my blog and then scampered down to the bus stop. Two and a half hours later we were at our next destination, a beautiful Greek style home in Longjumea. If you are from France you barely know where that it. The town is so small, but the best place to stay for 24 people. It was unbearably hot when we got there so the first thing Tim and I did was clean out the pool. Dr. Davis got to work on the edges while Tim sifted through the water with a spaghetti strainer. I swept the leaves and soon enough we were floating like duck in the pool. Apparently a pool here is not a luxury but a requirement because it get so hot.
Dr. Davis gave us the detail on the house. Story has it that during WWII British soldiers hid in the house for safety from the German Army. On a plaque out front says one soldier was shot and they were all captured but it end there. All of us weren’t sure if the soldier was shot and died in the house or was shot and taken away, this we will never know.
