    It sounded like you said...products for sinners....ha,its your accent and Im a bit deaf haaaaa,I need those products,ow much they cost Don and surely all those very pretty tourist places must be too expensive for normal non tourists living there,blymy,they are set up to rip tourists off and don if you want a holiday here in athens,you want to boil for a bit,no rain you can stay in our athens apartment with us and stay in our tiny mountain house west of athens,the sun shines here,it was 30 degrees today,there is a sea-fed lake near our mountain house for SWIMMING,lush,you just need your flight
