Reached Athens Airport without much sleep — the flight was from Hell. This Baby kept crying all 9 Hours. There was an old man who was shouting, “is there a doctor on-board?”; and the lady on next seat was so fat that she was encroaching half of my space. But don’t be surprised, that’s US Airways.
Met Prady & Chris, Mario. Got in Prady’s rental, grabbed lunch. Boat was made available at 1:30pm. We took a great lunch at Focacino Cafe in Paleo Faliro, not far from the Alimos Marina.
Did our provisions for next few days — four shopping carts, 400 Euros.
We discovered a great place for dinner — beautiful ambiance, great service (the owners son came to our boat to tell us about the food), and amazingly affordable price. We eat many rounds of octopus, lamb chops, grape leaves, musaka and few more traditional Greek stuff. This was with few rounds of Ozzo, with final round of Honey Liqueur and fresh water melon all of this within 120 Euros.
We slept at the Boat friday night.
Special mention — Thanks to Sprint for Screwing my phone and hope Susan will figure out how to get Sprint.
Next morning — woke up 4:30am. Peter, pray and I went to look for Coffeee.
A bit cranky about without Breakfast. And dictating pray about this Blog. Planning tp cook tonight — Using D’Amico Retaurant of Penney, Cream sauce, with Rosted Chicken, Fresh Rosemary, Secret recipe with Gorgonzolla Chease.
That’s it for now. It’s 10:30 and we are headed towards Sounion – Temple of Poseidon.
