    Sorry that three of these are sideways. My friends accidentally took them like that.

    This is yours truly in one of the three archive rooms at the Florida State archives in Tallahassee. I went as part of my college's history club. I felt as if I'd died and had gone to heaven.


    I'm the only history major in the club, so my professor intentionally had the archivists pull objects that would pique my interest, such as Civil War artifacts, like the diary and letter below. I actually got to physically touch these with my bare hands. My professor used to work at this archives, and he's really pushing me to consider this as a possible dream job.



    My best friend and I in an exhibit at a museum a few floors below the archives. Literature is the love of her life, but she enjoys history, especially old books and history.

    Well I have come back from Greece to rainy London 3 weeks ago. I am in love with this country, people, food, nature...
    Here is the beach view:


    Now there is property boom in Greece and they actively sell apartments/houses there, kind of every Greek travel agent has a “brother” who sells property and who can “help” to buy one.
    I checked myself Athens property price https://tranio.com/greece/attica/athens/ and may say that yeah, it looks very attractive, and the country is a paradise, but I am not sure about the economy situation there, this really stops me…The holidays are great though, I do recommend.

    AG - I love those pictures ! How cool would it be to work for The National Archives ? I would love a job like that as I am also a history buff.

    Miomick - That picture of Greece is beautiful. I have heard the Islands are amazing.
