Back at the internet cafe. Just here to get some juice in the iPod and check mail. Was out running the other night and saw some amazing clouds rolling in on sunset at the beach. Ended up being lightning and mad waves - so naturally i kicked off my shoes and used the new Casio to snap some photos. Photos are great. One wave came right up and licked my Shuffle - apparently iPods and water do not mix. Stopped playing, and even though i killed the power, the lights started blinking randomly. GOt really hot too. I think i shorted it out. Letting it dry for a few days, and then I'll see what happens when i plug it in to a USB port. Charging up the 5G iPod now, as the indefinite amount of hours of traveling back to serbia await us on Tuesday.

We seem to have the route all planned. - going to leave Thessaloniki on a midnight train to Sofia, Bulgaria - leaving us timeto find the quickest route to Belgrade/Nis - and once we are there, its all downhill.

If anyone is wondering what my soundtrack is - I have fallen in love with the new "The Long Winters" album. not released til mid July, but for those of you who have access to magical pigs, do it now. the album is fantastic.

Spent today at the beach - walked nearly 5km to Hanioti to find that one stretch of beach where no one goes - the one with the beautiful sand bars 30m offshore - the one where you can see the sandy bottom no matter how far out you go. the one without sea urchins - the one with the fish that nibble your toes like nemo. y'know that one? yeah, thats the one. perfect.

walked back to the apartment in time to shower off all the salt. M walked into town to get the necessities - drinks and grinds for the game. came back with fanta and watermelon. perfect.

England vs Ecuador - scoreless for 60 min. camera zoom on posh in the crowd. Becks bends it like he knows how. England 1, Ecuador 0. after the match, came down to the internet cafe to kill some time before the fresh corn arrives at the market. Cafe full of brits wearing red and white, flags everywhere. Everyone singing God Save the Queen.

Perfect.
