Forest fire in Athens

Forest fire in Athens

[Aug.2009] I will write my memoir again.

This time it is in Greece, when I went to Athens for the first time.

We saw the very dirty sky from the window of the bus we were taking from the airport to the town and thought “does Athens have a serious problem of smog?”.

But after a while it cleaned up and the blue sky appeared.

I felt as if I was tricked, but when we went to the top of a rock of Acropolis, a fellow tourist told us that was a forest fire.

It was so big that it was a news item around the world apparently.
