More stamps in the (brand new) passport!....they're on the same page FYI. 27 blank pages to choose from, and I have 7 stamps and a visa sticker on 2 that face each other...go figure. Ferry was uneventful, though there was a bit of a spat when we landed. It's apparently customary to allow parents with young children, and elderly people to the front of the line, when a couple attempted to sneak in with the kids, there were a few words and gestures exchanged in roughly 3 languages. Have a new hotel this time, from the placement on the map, it appeared to be closer to the center (town square) than our last hotel. Though it was in a more populated area...it was just as far. Plus side, the walk was along the water, which was nice. Made me giggle (again) especially when I see people pull out a map and study it with such determination...just can't help but think, rookie...and, poor sucker. I'm turning into a coffee addict (no ciggys to date....though I'm sure I've inhaled enough 2nd hand smoke to qualify for a 3 ciggy a day habit) don't know what I'm going to do back in the US...for some reason the Greeks have faith in your ability to self flavor (milk & sugar) your own tea, but apparently feel the barista is better suited for this function with coffee. I'm sure the 'bucks and peets crowd will give me quite the look when I request a frappé medium sugar, little bit of milk. (hee hee) had a drink with Alex after he got off work, then walked home with mom, who had a bit of ouzo, and insisted she knew a shorter way...I wasn't about to argue with her, so followed her on her ahem, long cut. We made it back to the hotel...you know, eventually.
