My First Impressions - Second Time Around

This is not my first visit to Greece, I was here in the fall of 1997. Not much has changed since then from the little I've seen so far. Maybe that's unfair since I've only been here two days but the things that stand out now and stood out then was the incessant noise. You just simply can't get away from it. The one that bothers me the most is the constant barking of dogs. Not only are there a lot of strays wandering the streets but dog owners chain their dogs up outside and they bark at anything that moves or even breathes.

There are two such dogs outside our bedroom door and sleeping has become a challenge even with earplugs.
Different country, different rules I guess. If a neighbour of mine did that we'd be on the phone to the Humane Society or by-law office but here it is okay.

So here I am ten years later, same house, same barking, although I suspect the dogs are not the same ones...some things do change I guess.
