More Strikes

We are learning that strikes are a part of Greek life. According to an English newspaper printed in Greece, there are now 7,000 tons of trash flowing out onto the streets of Athens. If the weather was really warm, the stench would be horrid. The visual impact is gross enough. Yesterday the bus and metro workers decided to strike and everything stopped running from noon to 3 pm. It makes me a bit nervous to go anywhere on a bus. To top it off banks will be on strike today and tomorrow.
