School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces

Well, not exactly, maybe not forever, but today marks the end of the school year here in Greece. I passed a few schools when on the bus this morning, and all of them had the school yard filled with pupils, for one last time attentively listening to the final proclamation by their headmaster or ditto mistress. Until September 11 they will be free as birds to roam the vast Greek country side, flee the heat to one of the islands, or sit at home bored stiff. Three months vacation, what a concept!
