Because of bumpiness, the bathroom sign was illuminated the next morning
as they brought our breakfast
though Ben slept through
until we got to Belgium
and took the obligatory phone booth picture
before entering the customs zone
and on the other side getting drinks
with which to celebrate Suzanne's birthday
at this cost
before heading to the cafe to get a salad
and sandwich
or two
while Jane enjoyed her waffle
before we made our way to the Olympic gate
and as the flight was going I took these scenes from out the window (because I had that setting on my camera)
since Greece was in our immediate future
as Ben
and Jane slept
even as the food
came but as the cartoons played
Ben slept
even as we flew through cloud formations
observed the signage
through another airplane photo
and eventually made our way down to the ground and to baggage claim where we learned about 51,808 words of Greek.
Next thing we knew, we were at the hotel looking at the view of the Acropolis and Parthenon from our balcony
and exploring our room
and elegant bathroom
and the beds in the kids room next door.
even as we had our first Loutraki water
as I recorded the bathroom door
and set Jane free to take her pictures of our environment
|
including Ben
me
and herself in these self portraits
plus the welcome screen.
After a picture of Jane with appropriate backdrop
we headed off through the cows of Athens
|
past the Subway (in Greek)
to the place where we were going to have dinner
and so after registration photos of Jane
Ben
Sarah
Suzanne
and me
we began to study the menu
and order milkshake
bread
beer
tsatseki
another salad
a Greek salad
and another salad
souvlaki
pasta
and still more Greek salad (unfortunately our eyes were bigger than our stomachs or perhaps we were trying to follow the Greek tradition of leaving much of our food).
On the way back home, we took the obligatory phone booth pictures which created frustration with the Greek system of phone cards and their technical difficulties
as Jane and Ben watched in amusement though all of couldn't wait for a good night's sleep.
