Greetings from Athens

[Turfman]

I'm learning a bit of Greek. The company has a class at night for us, but they were too far into it when I got here. \

I've seen a lot of fiat tractors, Fords and Internationals and last week, up by the new Olympic Village, I saw my first Kubota. An L series with FEl and tiller working a nursery. We went by a Russian tractor dealer the other day and I didn't get a chance to stop. I saw a CUT dealer on the way to Volos last Saturday, they all looked like very old style Kubotas, like when they first came into the US. They were new, but I didn't see anything that gave me a clue as to what kind they were.

I'll be home for 6 days next Saturday evening and then back to Athens the next Friday. It will be nice to spend time on my little Kubota this week.

That's got to be a once in a lifetime experience over there. Hope you enjoy it all.

The Greek Islands are beautiful...as is most of Greece. If you can, you should take some excursions to some of the numerous Greek islands. People are friendly. Sights are wonderful. That part of the Mediterranean is, in my opinion, more beautiful than the Carribean. Also, there are many old Roman/Biblical ruins to visit. Very educational experience.

When I was there briefly back in 1988, I saw some great looking old 60's models Fords (Fairlanes come to mind) and Chevy's on the streets. Seems those folks took a liking to the American car classics and took great care/pride in them. Do you still see those today?
