my mums cooking

   To be frank my mums a fantastic cook same with my dad. A variety of stews, curries etc. Food from all around the world she aims mostly at Indian, Greek, Mexican, some Italian and Morrocan and Egyptian. She recently has made stews and some currys, were going to make Sushi, stuffed chicken breasts, tacos and much much more. My dad specializes in breakfasts the table is covered with French toast, Pancakes, Muesli, bacon and eggs. Everything a kid needs. My dad is also better making cakes my favorite cake he makes is his carrot cake (it still doesnt beet my Grannys).

  A lot has happened this past week. Including my little brothers, First holy Communion, going to the beach and heavy studying. It was a briliant and well organised service, the rest of the troop including my brother were fantastic and did very well. After the whole thing had ended we ate the most amazing food before departing back to the house. Today we went off to the beach and had a good swim at the nicest beach around Athens (which by the way isnt that nice). Still we swam. This week lve been studying at home during lunch my free time. Its madenning still its only a week every year and l should be able to endure it.

What l like to do

   l always enjoy a good long political discussion with Sajan or possibly Jason or any other important headline at the time. l am very enthusiastic to join debate but sadly it runs during the time l have tennis. Next year lll swich days and add debating into my curriculum. My outside events are probably swimming,sailing,cicling,kayaking and fishing. I detest cricket probably because l dont like standing in 40 degrees Celsius with a bunch of batters who cant hit the ball and even if they did it wont come my direction. The summers hear are hot so l normally stay in the library during lunch normally reading or doing my homework. In Spring and Autumn l play basketball with a couple of friends.

Books

   l have to say l just love books. The librarian added that l took out more books than anyone in my year. They range from H.G Wells to Raul Daurl. l also thoroughly enjoy history books especailly world war 2 and Classics. l am also a great fan of National Geographic, Wildlife, Focus and my favorite New Scientist  at the moment l am reading The Invisible Man and a copy of New Scientist. l have recently been pulled to the topics of Apparteid and Arab-Israeli Conflict. My hunger to read and to expand my knowledge is overwelming as there is so much left to learn. l read as much as l can but l do have a fixed times from 8:20 to 8:40 l will jump on the sofa with a cup of tea which l like with a lot of milk and a book at the ready. After that l will head downstairs and watch BBC World News until 9:30.

Pelion

Pelion is a beautiful mountainous region situated in the centre of the country. At the moment were renevating this 100 year old house just up the slope of the mountain. The side that were on is covered in olive groves and has a rich bio-diversity on the other side its forested with chestnuts and oaks this side also has very steep and dramitic cliffs. l would say the better beaches are on the other side of the mountain were you can find in my point of view the best beaches in the country. For food our side is filled with ταβερνασ which are greek restraunts with great greek delicacies. The locals are very friendly and you see them pitched on there donkeys giving you a smile, most of them are farmers and grow olives, herd goats, sheep and hunt for wild boar during the winter.

My trip to America

This summer lm going to go visit my great aunt in Connecticut. lm going to go endinborugh to Heathrow and then a direct flight to Boston. lve always wanted to go to America and l love there sweets and fastfood. Its a soughta ritual in my family every cousin related to my great aunt go to america when there 11 years old. They normally spend 2 weeks in America the first week is travelling to boston and new york and hanging around in connecticut and then the next week thell spend time in a camp. My case is diffrent and lll be spending 3 weeks in America as i am planned to do a sailing course and during the weekends lll go to new york and boston. Sailing is one of my favorite sports and l enjoy doing it in greece l am sure l will enjoy it equally or possibly more in America.

beaches

The Mediteranean as you might now is wonderful for swimming and Pelion is one of the places that have amazing beaches but nobody knows about them. All along the coastline you can spot beuatifly shaped beaches embeded in the rock, the sea is light blue and sparkles in the afternoon and when the sun starts to fall the most spectaular sunsets cover the sky. No thanks to tourists and oil ships rubbish and tar can be washed into these coves but not in Pelion. Athens has one ok beach called Skinias it isnt anything specail but its all athens has to offer.
