1495 - It's a long way, to Thessaloniki

A good day spent in Thessaloniki
Capital of Greek Macedonia
Its name translates 'Thessaly victory'
She was also a queen and after her
The new town was named - and nearby Pella
Was Alexander's birthplace; he conquered
As far east as the Indus. Even there
He wanted more but it was not granted.
The whole day with Dan and Fle - German friends -
Fle is short for Fleming. Sat by the sea -
Pavement cafe tables. Also where
Girls go by - Navarinou Street. Flocks. Herds
Of them. Went round the Archaeology
Museum. Now - night bus to Turkey - yeah!
