Sam was really wanting me to send out an update on the day, but I told her I really didn’t have enough fodder for an interesting story. The day has been a food disaster—thus far Greek food has been amazing but it all came crashing down today. “So what am I supposed to write about, a shit food day?!?” Apparently yes, so here’s my post:
Shit Food Day!!
However, this post will start the day before.
Typical Athens street scene. Bizarrely, they sell furs all over the place!A couple of nice views on the streetDinner last night—wow this seafood risotto was amazing! Notice my favorite white anchovies in the background 😀Sam giving a big smile, oblivious to the fact that this is her last edible meal for maybe thirty hours or so 😀Street scenes on our way back to the hotel
And now it’s morning of the next day, and I decided to try “Greek coffee.” Very first mistake of the day! First kind of coffee I’d even encountered that I could not stand for more than two sips. Worst thing I’d ever attempted to drink. And they included two horrible sticky gummy-bear-type objects which somehow made the whole experience even more nasty.
Well. Anyway, it’s a new day, and we are taking the opportunity to hike around randomly.
Graffiti still holding upStreets are so pretty here!If you need an exterminator, we have a powerful one!!I make a lot of fun about Europeans and their “driving” but I gotta admit they can successfully park just about anywhereWent into a grocery store and saw this… I wanna say it’s a pork-chop still attached to what is normally the bacon area?? Maybe?? Another unsolved European meat mystery…The Athens streets always look so inviting!Random cathedralHad to check it outScreenshot of a snap I sent lolAnother Snap screenshot, I was going to just send the picture of the meal, but I found myself instead typing what Sam was saying trying to describe this… thing 😀But at least the graffiti is still spot on!Some random building which caught our eyeNice to see that Arnold is appreciated here!!I’ll admit the salad was good. Hey wait, I skipped over lunch!! Lunch was AWFUL!!! I had dead black pork skewers of death, Sam had dead dense diseased fish of death, it was so bad I deleted all the pics!
So yeah there are no pix of dinner. Trust me, you don’t want them! Yikes what a bad day for food.
What was this post supposed to be about again? 😀
Still tho, as always, the ambience is greatOh wait, I do have a pic of dinner. Looks pretty decent, right? WRONGBad pizza or not, the city is still amazingly beautiful
