There are a few interesting experiences from Greece.
The landscape is just like you imagine...beautiful beyond belief and among the prettiest that we have ever seen.
Greeks eat dinner late - just like in most of Europe. We found a lovely restaurant in Argostolion, and found ourselves as the only customers at 8pm. It was run by a lovely Canadian/Greek women - imagine that:). A few others showed up around 8:30 or 9:00, but it apparently doesn't get busy until 11pm or later. Lucky us:
On Sunday, Mara had a tough day. First thing in the morning, she bonked her head doing a headstand with Jeryn, then 30 minutes later - she was stung by a bee, and finally - she got sand in her eyes at the beach. All three situations could have easily ended up in an Emergency Department visit, but thanks to Supermom, she was ok:) and after we made her into a Mermaid:
A couple years ago, there was a major earthquake here. It disrupted roads, many of which haven't been fixed. As a result, the drive between Myrtos and Assos takes 45 minutes and contains a couple hundred switchbacks, instead of a short straight 5 minute drive. The view was easily worth the trouble:
The beaches are stunning, but filled with rocks and pebbles. They can be a bit painful to walk on, so bring your sandals:
Thanks for coming halfway around the world (literally) to come see us!! Hope you had a wonderful Greek experience!
