An old woman was selling charms made of ear. 

They are supposed to bring good luck and prosperity. 2 euros each.

It was noon when we reached Mesologhi, the Immortal Sacred Town.

We stopped at nice place by the lagoon.

 The fishermen of the lagoon use a special kind of boat named "priari".

I think priari is very similar to a Japanese boat.

Leaving Mesolonghi for Lefcada. The mountain Varassova, the lagoon and the vivariums. The perfecture of Aitolia and Akarnania is a wonderful place. It has mountains, lowlands, holly rivers, lakes, lagoons, sea, various species of plants and animals. Its history goes far back to the ancient times and mythology. No wonder why I know a lot about this perfecture and I love it so much. It's my ancestors homeland.
