Ithaca Greece |
Yiorgos and Toula |
Lahos is home to some of the most down to
earth and stealthy locals on Ithaca. An aged community that seems
to have discovered the fountain of youth in respect to their determination
to maintain their energy and keep up their 'hard work' credo. Yiorgos
and Toula Sopoula are two of these locals. Toula regularly walks to Stavros to maintain
her daughters house and is out there picking the olives every season without
fail, and although Yiorgos is ill, he still does whatever he can to help
his wife with all their chores while making time to sit and talk with
his friends and neighbours, Nikos and Zaharate. These two locals have great 'free range' eggs Yiorogs Sopoulas sadly passed away Tuesday evening 27th July 2004, after many months of ill health. |
