Day ThIrTy Six- blood, sweat, and beaches

I am relaxing by the beach here on the Island of Kythira. I have found a cafe called "Vanilia Creperie" I orderd a Feta cheese, tomatoe, and cucumber sandwhich and a vanilla shake. Man that was a lot of walking. I spent a few hours online doing stuff, and then went to see about a place to call home tonight.

I looked up from the beach and saw perfect trees sitting about 100 feet above from the little port village. I would go find a place, set up camp, then go fishing. It took me a little while but I found some bait ( and a new mat to replace the one I dropped somewhere on the road) and set for the trees. It was going to be harder than I thought. It was sort of a steep climb through a bunch of thorns and sharp plants. But I had made up my mind so I set up the cliff.

a few more scratches from plants and rocks that fell when I pulled on them for support (oooooowwwww!!!)...is that how you spell that? ohh well (I mean ouchhhhhhhh) it really hurt. finally made it to the top after having to jump a fence.

I looked around and this place looked really like a camp but no benches. there was a fence going all the way around ( to keep people from falling off the cliff). It was not really as nice as I thought it would be. It had huge ants everywhere that were crawling on me. And the dirt was coverd with rocks... this place sucks. So after a little decision making I decided to find another palce. I walked a couple of paths a had not seen anyone... "I'm gonna be so mad if this turns out to be a mountain lion reserve or something" hmmmm ohh there's a gate. left the gate and went back down to the beach and noticed that my new mat was gone!!! "huh!" where the heck is my mat? ahhhhh!!! so I went back through the gate and did not find it anywhere! I back trackted and found nothing. So I went back down to the beach and found the cliff that I started on. I started to clim and saw it about 6 feet above me. I started to climb, slipping on the dirt and scraping myself, (there goes more blood) and reached out to grab the top and fell.

I started sliding fast towards the bottom and reached out for anything to grab I was getting faster and about to straight fall to the bottom. When I felt a plant. I grabbed at it and felt the pain shoot through my wrists and hands as the plant I found was a thorn bush." ahhhghhh!!!" my eyes closed tight and I winced in pain, I had stopped. My my wrists and hands had thorns in them and were bleeding. I made my way back up and got that stupid mat. Walking back down I laughed "Got my mat suckers"
