Day Of The Week Mens Boxer Shorts

Lefkada, kite surf, sea and poetry from Greece Travel to Venezuela



August 11, 2008, I spent seven long months of the mission in South America, where I have given many unforgettable emotions as strong medial epicondylitis, which forced me to long and annoying therapies. The thermal house begins to be desired and I had just recently the OK from Dr. A. Gherardini "estimated orthopedic, and sports and friend" to go back to surfing the waves with my beloved kite. Now we have to find a windy place, and near statement.
There is a land where it originated in the history of Western civilization, always gives excitement and interest to tourists with its monuments and beautiful landscapes. Its territory includes more than two thousand islands in the Aegean and Ionian Sea, of which only a small percentage live, the highest peak is Mount Olympus, a major source of inspiration for artists and poets of the past and present.

13.00 on August 15, Wel and I put on the road with no traffic on the road to the port of Bari spend the night camping out with a group of foreign tourists on the deck of the starboard side, constantly swept by a wind warm and enveloping. Dawn With a time zone, enter the port of Igoumenitsa. We drive along the scenic route for about two hours up to see the castle on an island of Haghia Mavra (Santa Maura, built by Siciliano G. Orsini in 1300), this view us happy (despite the incomprehensible 'written directions, do not we go wrong street). Now we just have to cross the drawbridge that connects the mainland with the windy island of Lefkada, along the harbor full of sailing ships of all sizes, from where we see the 6 old windmills that characterize the spot of Milos Beach.

thought we already find the Meltemi blows from the first hours of the day on the island of Paros, but soon we realize that here is an excellent thermal constant intensity of 20 knots, blowing from left unexpectedly side-on (where the turquoise waters of the cape reflects baya), every day from June to September from the early afternoon. The length of the Baya allows you to try anything having the security to return to shore, although the presence of rocks in the surf, forced out in bodydrag. Because of the many riders and tourists, we find different situations for the overnight stay. So every morning united me to the other house guests to prepare breakfast, discussing the cultural excursions and visits to the island, before returning to a major event that we Eolo fixed at 14.30. We find that Lefkada is a classic Greek tourist destination with many boats for excursions to the islands "minor" ... we skirt the island from east to Vasiliki, are surprised to innumerable bays and luxuriant green, past the fishing village of Lyghià, we arrive at the marina of Nidri.

From here you can see the neo-classical mansion of the poet A. Valaoritis, just a few minutes by boat, where land is banned as is the private island of Skorpios, Onassis. Navigating between these verdant islands yet, you'd think to be on the calm waters of a lake in Switzerland, until the sight of Ithaca, there's soul beautiful memories of the humerus odyssey. Overlooking the western part of the island, where the presence of golden beaches and easy access to the sea, we returned to Nidri to walk towards Mount Elati (highest peak of the island, 1.182m), until you reach the small but fascinating icy waterfalls. From the terrace of

Milos Beach (after h15.00), you see speeding on the left the long windsurfing boards and on the other side jump the colorful wings of the riders; A spectacular dance of color followed by white wakes fleeting ... In three of the ten-day stay 27nodi the wind has passed, provided there has allowed to ride in the big lagoon Nicolaus second spot of Excellence a few miles from Lefkada. The lagoon is surrounded by a strip of sand within which the water (45cm for the first 300m, then turns deep) is perfectly flat, where we enjoyed all freestyle. After a whole day to move the bar and take shots of any kind, hunger and fatigue brought us to live more like the dinners of fish, garden organized by Mara, the wife of the deal roommate Albano, instead of going to the local near city center, on the other we could not eat a good catch, thus forced to fall back like all the meat ... etc. ghiros.

August 25, 2008 Two days after returning to Italy, among hundreds of kiters at sea, I saw a figure that leaves me stunned, Bolin on him and ask <> no response, I make a tight turn and are behind him <<>>. I realize that there is too much noise of wind and sea, you just have to wait on the beach. Half an hour later I go toward him, and assured each other we hug. 2years have passed since the day Hurricane Wilma brought devastation in the Gulf of Mexico, where I made friends with an unforgettable Foka and his family. His meeting evokes in me strong emotions shared with them in Puerto Morelos.

August 27, 2008 Day of return. From the door of the bar to look stern wake of big ship sailing toward the coast of Puglia. Wel call my friend to think how it was so that he can once again a small travel diary: <>. Let Mount Olympus behind us in thinking that this is no more life lived inert philosophy that ... In order not to offend the gods, to invoke their own until this happening again ... ...

ITHACA
When you set out for Ithaka hope your road
is long,
full of adventure and discovery. The
Lestrigoni
and the Cyclops, the angry Neptune do not worry, it will no
these kind of meetings
if your thoughts remain lofty, and a feeling
stirs your spirit and your body.
Cyclops, Lestrigoni, not sure, it
'wrath if Neptune hitting

not carry them within your soul if you do not set them up.
... Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage
without her you would have never put on the road
: what else do you expect?
Poetry of C. Cavafy
