HAPPY POETRY MONTH!

Honestly, I didn't know April was world poetry month until I saw posters all over the place at my college. I decided to follow the trend and buy this book and I was not disappointed at all. I will read the book every time I feel down or when i'm hurting or when I need healing. So many quotes were close to my heart I wanted to sticky note every single page so I could find the quote later. Props to Rupi for pouring her soul out onto paper for people to know they're not alone.

These massive fortifications were begun in the 14 th century BCE, followed by Tiryns and Dendra, Argos and Athens, as well as a host of subsidiary forts and, eventually, a huge wall across the Corinthian Isthmus. The famous Lion Ga...

Archaeological Museum This morning we rise early and transfer to the wharf and at 08h00 board our private chartered boat (exclusive to our group) for our half day boat tour to Sfaktiria Island. Between 1821 and 1832 CE, the Greeks fought a war of independence against the occupying Ottoman Turks. On 20 th October, 1827 CE a naval battle was fought in the bay at Pylos.

The Battle of Navarino was the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships, although most ships fought whilst at anchor. The Allies' victory was achieved through superior firepower and gunnery. The involvement of the English and French was pr...
