Oh God

Ancient Olympia just burned to the ground.

*curls into a ball*

eta: After a whole DAY of conflicting reports, it seems that while the fire was in the grounds and burned a good portion of the woods, they managed to save the ancient site and museum. It's by no means the end of this, but it's a huge relief for me.

Hasn't the weather cooled down a little down there? It was unbearably hot here the last couple of days, but today it's pretty tolerable. It won't last long, though - tomorrow, we're returning to good old 35-40 degrees.

This weather is killing me.

You need rain. Yes. *prays to God to send you some*

I think it's a bit cooler-it's hard to say, there's still a fair bit of smoke over Athens. The winds feel stronger today though, and that can't be good.
