We're staying in Thessaloniki for a few days to make our final preparations for Eastern Europe. Tara is tying up loose ends, sending out postcards and packages, while I'm trying my best to catch up with work. Hopefully we can ride off in a day or two without anything on our minds but the road before us.

This afternoon, we went for a walk around town and met this friendly dog who was hoarding several sticks. His owners, a pair of food-stand vendors not too far away had a good laugh when I started taking pictures of her, saying they had a much prettier dog at home. I thought she was cute!
