Apollo's Cats

The extent of today included a walk to what is left of the Temple of Apollo here on Aegina.  All that is left is a single column among numerous rocks that used to be surrounding structures.  There was again another great view of the ocean and outlying islands.  As we left the temple Tony, Zach, and I noticed a cat.  This cat was all dirty and had what looked like a raccoon tail.  It was the weirdest kitty I have ever seen.  And of course, much like her remarks to the dogs, our teacher had to tell the cat the it was very very dirty and that it needed to be cleaned.  As we walked back, there were so many cats and we noticed an entire family of them finishing the remains of people's lunch from a table outside of a cafe.  There have been a lot different kitties I've seen that I haven't seen in America, and I can definitely tell people's mentality towards all strays in general is much different than in America.  People allow for them to roam around and do not care what they do.  Also the strays never seem to be in the way of things going on.  For example, I have never seen or heard of a stray being hit by a car.

I start class Monday, so as things arise, events occur, or I have another plethora of pictures to share, I will have more posts.
