Story in a box

               

There are many places that Sally would like to visit.  Some of them are very far away while others are fairly close to her home.  She recently got a job photographing the beautiful country of Greece.  Sally is very excited because this will be her first time going there.

                When Sally steps off the plane she heads to the air port gift shop where she finds a little plate, which she buys to give her sister because of its unique design.   After that, Sally meets some other photographers to take pictures of a very old village on the side of the mountain.  She is fascinated with one house in particular, it has two stories and a balcony.  However her favorite part about the house is the donkey in the front walkway.   

Next, Sally heads to Kalamaria where she hopes to take many pictures of the people in their day to day lives.  It is very cold in Kalamaria so Sally decides to buy a velvet blanket to keep her warm.  After taking many pictures, Sally decides to get something to eat.  A friend suggests that she tries these nuts that are very popular in the area.  The nuts were served in a glass jar that had a cork top.

On the second day of her trip Sally decided to go to a flea market.  She is very interested in how different cultures decorate their houses.  The first thing that catches her eye are two statues.  She likes the statue that is one sided and is painted because the person is holding a drum.  The second statue is of a person made of dark smooth wood and is clothed in robes.  Sally decides to buy both of the statues for her parents.  After walking around the flea market for several hours Sally comes across an assortment of stamps.  She is drawn to the one that has a dragon on the top.

 Sally spent a lot of money at the market so decides to go site seeing.  While she was walking she came across a little girl with blue eyes and olive color skin.  She was caring a ruler on her way to school.  Running after the girl was a little boy who was caring a wallet that the little girl must have left behind.

Sally really enjoyed her time in Greece.  She took many pictures that will be published.  She hopes that there are many more trips in the future.
