Toshiko ... thank you so much for the beautiful photos of Greece. It looks like an amazing place with many photograpic opportunities. Very interesting. You had a great cab driver .... I had one just like him in San Fancisco once.

Thank you for your comment, Sherry.

Yes, the taxi driver was really nice and in this way, we didn't have to search everywhere and get lost so it saved time and money.
We have this kind of service in Kyoto, Japan, too.
I bet there is the same servise in Tokyo, but I've never had a taxi tour in Tokyo.
I haven't been to Alcatraz even though I've been to SF many times.
I just don't want to come back with Al Capone. No...just kidding. The place always has a long line so I just don't want to wait so long.
But I'd like to go there and sing "No One Like You" someday.

Sigh..........

I hate time passes so fast and everything becomes memories.
It's like trying to make a snowball with dry snow.
The powdery snow just slips through my fingers.

I was so surprised that he didn't become sick with so much alcohol after that.
That was why I didn't notice he drank the whole bottle of the wine.
I guess he ate enough food so it helped not to get sick with it.
I loved the seafood, too even though the sea bass's head was looking toward us.

Visiting the Socrates' balcony was one of our tour's highlight.
At the balcony, Socrates taught students and the balcony was still there!
I love philosothy.
I was so honored to stand the same balcony where Socrates stood.
Am I smarter now?

This is the moon picture I took last night in my town.
Isn't that wonderful we are looking at the same moon and the same sun?

Hi Lenita, Christy,

I always wish the heppy time to last forever, but it always ends somehow till next happy time comes.
Some people says "You had such wonderful memories so you should be happy," but how can I be happy all the time when the happy time passes. I don't like living in the memories. I like living in the present.
Life is sometimes so mean.
And the happy time passes 32 times faster than regular days. Is that only me who feels that way?

Hi Alizee and Antonis,
Yes, the tour was wonderful and we were so lucky to meet the taxi guy.
He was just like a history teacher.

We didn't mike to the Temple of Poseidon before dark so we drove up the hill and park in front of the gate then walk up to the fence.
Mad Dog was so amazed with the Temple, but I was a little worried about snakes...
Do you have snakes in Greece?

Yes yes me too! The good times are over much quicker than the bad ones and it makes me so sad. Klaus sings "hard times go, as soon as the good times roll" but unfortunately the good times are too soon over. If I could see our boys once a week, my life would be sublime. Cuz watching Rudolf run all over the stage, hearing Klaus' pure sweet voice, watching Matthias' crazy antics and flirtations making the girls crazy, would mean that everything has meaning. But then I realize that they have their stresses too, that they have their bad times. And that maybe they wish they could play all the time cuz when they are on stage, that's THEIR good times. It's all too sad.

Hi Cristy,

I remember what Steven Tyler said in his interview article after he took one year off in 2008.
He said "I thought I was tired of touring around and never at home. But after a while staying home all day everyday, I found out it was fricking so boring! Nothing can excites me more than performing in front of 50,000 people."(something like that)
Well, he might have changed his mind again since he fell off the stage again and got injured.
I hope he will recover soon.

Everyone becomes old or sick someday no matter what.
I am trying to learn the most important thing is simpleness.
To feel happiness with nature, dairy life, small things.
Because when we get old, we can't go far away.
The good thing for me is I love pulling weeds a lot.
As long as weeds are around my house, I have something to concentrate.
Till then, I will try to see the Scorpions' concerts as many as possible.
And if I find something more interesting, I will go for it.
But I miss the Scorpions...
What am I talking about?

Ahahaha...the fear of the snakes reminds me of my girlfriend who's worries about them,but no there were no snakes there...it was so lovely place to be even at night!
At August's foul moon the temple was open(it's open on every August's foul moon) til 01.30 at night and it was so magical to be there....

Hi Antonis,

We arrived there a little after 2:00am so that was why the gate was closed.
The parking at the venue was so crowded and it took for a long time to go back to sounio.
We saw the moon, too and the sea had a reflection of the moon light.
It was very beautiful and I took some photos, but they came out just pitch black photos.
The moon on the picture was too small, too.
I wish I brought our reflex camera.
I'm glad I didn't have to meet any snakes.
