Thassos is a beautiful island.

A <em>really</em> beautiful island.

I went this past week with friends. As teachers we had two days off to celebrate the creators of the Cyrillic alphabet. Technically these days were Tuesday and Wednesday but then the Bulgarian government gave the country Monday off as well so all of a sudden we had a five day weekend.

Not bad. Not bad at all. We had great weather and great food.

<em>Even better? </em>Much of the country will be making the Monday holiday up this Saturday as the Bulgarian government made Saturday a work day but I don't have to work on Saturday either!! Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am.

Anyhow, my Thassos holiday was fantastic. Everything I hoped for and more and that's saying a lot.

The only thing is that now I am tired after the five-day long holiday. Work was busy today. I had a lot to catch up on. So this is a short, short post today as I am off to bed.
