Back in the Travel Saddle – Greek Style

Yes, I know. This appears to be a Blog site about crafting and such, but nah – it’s a Blog about my meandering through life. And this week, I’ll be meandering around Greece.

After a night’s stay at the Sofitel at London Heathrow, we boarded a crowded flight to Athens. With little to no legroom, we squished into our seats and had the lovely {read with sarcasm} companionship of a Two-Hat man who made it clear that the armrest was HIS. He made sure to keep his knees spread as wide as his short little legs would let them go. And huffed, hollered, and stared every time we laughed or had the audacity to breathe. And he blessed us with a retort to his phone as we de-boarded, “it’s full of Americans”. So now Rachy is American!

(Forgot to mention he had his leather loafers off with his bare stinkers hanging out.)

Then a hot and uneventful train ride to town. A hot and uneventful walk to the flat. And a hot and uneventful walk to the shops for groceries and Greek baked goodies. Dinner under the AC in our skivvies. Delightful.

Tomorrow is tourism day. Acropolis at 8am after coffee and more Greek baked goodies. Then back to the flat for a rest under the AC. Someone left the heat on in this city so we’re hydrating and seeking cover.

More to come as we traverse to Santorini.
