Sandals and wind

Hi all, well you can see from the previous post that we returned to Athens, had a great lunch and saw many historical sights. All good! One of our favorite things is to people watch, I also keep my eye out for schools and you can imagine all the field trips we see the kids doing in such interesting and world-renowned places that we travel all over to see. Of course we have many right at home and nearby, such as the Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde, just to name two. However we like to make those unexpected connections that give lasting memories. We met Alex and Debra from Hong Kong, our table mates at dinner and new folks you just click with like Jackie and Glenn from Asheville, North Carolina. We also met the third generation poet sandal maker in Athens, Melissinos. Needless to say we could not resist and we each had a pair custom fit to our feet. No mail order, he only sells in person in his tiny shop near Monastiraki Square, come in and get them fitted. His picture is below. One of the great joys and unexpected moments of traveling.

Now about that wind, it was too windy, 40 knots+, to put in at Mykonos today so we are at sea; for us it will be a good rest day after five ports in a row...more adventures to come. Stay tuned for Ephesus tomorrow.
