[Greece 2004] Athens Impression (8)

到雅典的當天,已是深夜十分,蜜兒多和我在回到她可愛的小屋以後,便關在屋子裡聊天八卦至清晨。
I arrived Athens upon midnight. Mirto went to the airport to pick me up. We went back to her lovely little house together and chatted until late in the morning.

兩人睡到中午起來,打開窗戶,陽光灑進屋來,我往院子裡看去,只看到一棵粗狀的棕櫚樹,穩當當地佔據著院子的一個角落。到了市區才發現,雅典大概是我在歐洲看到最多棕櫚樹的地方吧!隨便抬個頭就可以看到,一眼望去總能看到一打以上,市區內大小尺寸各異的棕櫚樹,對我來說,正是雅典夏日風情的最佳寫照。
We got up around noon. She opened the window to let the sun came in. I looked out in the garden and found a huge palm tree sitting firmly at the corner of the garden. When I went to the city center, I found that Athens is probably so far the city with most palm trees. I just need to raise my head and there’re more than dozen of them to be counted. They come in various shapes and sizes. For me, it’s the most suitable image of Athens summer.
