Delphi Day 2.2

Delphi Day 2.2

Delphi Day 2.2 was actually 1/2 in Delphi and the other 1/2 in Athens. We took the bus here in the late morning. Since then we have been to the grocery store, checked into our new room, eaten dinner in the rain, met back up with Camille from Quebec, and done a little bit of laundry. Things are looking good for the trip tomorrow to the islands. I wish things are looking good for Camille's sister. She is at the hospital with some stomach issue that got her dehydrated and was not able to eat for quite some time. We ran into Camille and the laundromat and she filled us in on the situation. Geeze! I hope things work out. That's one heck of a way to end the trip for them. She might come by after visiting her in the hospital tonight, but it might get late. Wish them the best!

Katherine did get her authentic spinach pies this evening after a long pursuit for the perfect one. The pouring rain sure made us clinch the decision and pop into a little cafe that happened to have those morsels in the window waiting to be devoured. As we sat to eat the entertainment on the street was so merging else. Everyone was acting like they were melting in the rain. I guess it doesn't rain that much here, but we welcome it from the Vegas dry heat.

We have noticed what looks like actual. Gypsies here in town. There were some children playing accordions and tambourines for tourists in the main area close to us. Some of the vendors would shoe them away and the patrons did not seem to like them. That was the first encounter. The second one was today. I saw one little one reaching in the gutter through a metal grate looking for change. This looked peculiar since there was some special stick used and the technique looked proficient. This had been done many times before. The most recent glimpse was when a motorized tricycle came by in search of the night's garbage. We have seen 3-4 garbage pickers thus far, but these 2 were really good. The girl circled the dumpsters and the dude just waited on the bike like thing and then they drove off. I heard that in Romania we will see the Roma people, no similarity to the name Romania, but gypsie folks that will do these sorts of things. They might be the real deal and it might be worth a euro to get a pic with them. The look different and wild. Cool stuff.

I hope the blog is not that boring thus far. If you have made it here on the page, let me know what you think. The auto correct on this thing is a little weird and it might put in different words. We are having a blast!
