The internet here depends on the weather. In Athens.

Skyros is wonderful. 

I'm freezing cold all the time, eating lots of rice cakes, getting covered in mud, I haven't put on mascara or checked my email for a week, (for that matter, I've been wearing mostly the same clothes every day this week), I ache everywhere...but last night I built a fire that burned all night long, read a whole book in one night, woke up the next morning and fed/watered/mucked for 34 ponies and two horses.  The people here are great, the scenery is to die for, and I'm having such a great adventure.  As hard and exhausting as it is, I think I'm actually loving every minute of it.

But I'm still counting down to Ireland, and my family.
