The last time I went to Greece was in 2006 and it was the first time I ever saw a goat up a tree. I was on one of those day trips that the holiday package folk had laid on, journeying on a coach through the winding mountain terrain for hours on end to reach a boat excursion or cave tour or some such other attraction.
On one of the perilous turns, I happened to glance out of the bus window into a ravine and see a dried up old tree, in the central boughs of which stood an equally dried up goat. The goat was motionless, on all fours, and looked at the coach with a vacant stare that to me suggested a will to get down from the tree but without the means to. Basically he was stuck and our vehicle of travelers were his only vestige of hope.
Naturally, the coach drove right by and left the goat stranded in the sun.
Should I happen upon him during this holiday in Greece, I'd imagine he would look something like the goat depicted on Day 264's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge T-shirt; melting.
This is yet another Pull & Bear design given to me for my birthday this year and is doing very little to me cool under the Greek sun. I may well have to do some melting of my own.
