Made it to the west coast of Greece yesterday after getting an oil change & new brakes in Kalamata (mountain roads hard on those) .  So I swam in the Mediterranean Sea this time, but more accurately it is the Ionian Sea. It has been above 100°F for days now & I am glad to be heading north. I have been camping along the sea(s) & taking a swim before setting up the tent and again after. However, I swore I wouldn't complain about heat after the Sweeden/Norway cold I experienced in July. So I looked up the picture of hail surrounding my tent taken on July 5th to remind me (it had been there for a couple hours after falling in the early morning). Next stop - Albania!
