The Lost Boys
Welcome to our blog! We will be writing about our adventures throughout Europe over the next half year (or longer). In case you read our title and thought "Lost Boys, wtf?" The Lost Boys are Peter Pan's followers who do not want to grow up. In order to stop the process of growing up and avoid responsibilities the Lost Boys escaped to Never Never Land. In our case Europe is our Never Never Land, a place to escape from growing up, from getting jobs, from becoming real people and having a shit ton of fun along the way!

Mark is the bobble head of the infamous Mark Bradford, father of the Bradford family. The Bradford family took me in under their wing while I lived in Indiana and so I thought I would take a piece of the along with me on this trip.

So if you find yourself being a grown up with responsibilities and are bored at work or at home, your escape is only a click away!

Thanks for reading!

Demonstrations

I guess Greece is world renown for it's strikes and demonstrations.  Since we are only 2 blocks from Syntagma Square, the largest square in Athens and right next to parliament, we are subjected to demonstrations, strikes, and protest from all different classes of people here on a daily basis.

This is one of the protests that made it's way past our apartment last night.  I am not sure who they are or what they were protesting...All I know is you have to pay attention because you do not want to be stuck somewhere you do not want to be on a day the public transit workers strike like they did last week...

    Well our state "govenator" just announced that he wants to pass a law banning all puiblic employees (school teachers)included from bargaining with union backing for anyhting to do with their contract except for pay.. He has even alerted the guard to be on call expecting protests from the state workers. What a croc! So what get for all the hardwork, patience and money we put into our profession is a kick in the head.

    Well teachers can be a violent group with the lack of erasers in classrooms to throw at children these days...the National Guard would certainly be a great use of our state tax money...bring them out to keep the teachers contained...hmmm.
