Athens, October 13

It is odd, the street our hotel is is named 23 October. In a few days the date and street name will match.
Well, yesterday was our last day on Santorini.   We loved it there but it was time to go.  The museum was closed so we were a bit disappointed.   We had GREEK coffee in a cafe overlooking through caldera.  It felt like we were in a movie.  That was so pleasant we had lunch in another restaurant overlooking the Caldera too (both restaurants are about 500 feet up on the cliff over looking the water).  All the patrons were Chinese but us.  They certainly are enjoying travel.  How did Asian people manage before digital cameras and phones?..  The couple across from us took multiple pictures of each other and of their food.  At another table 4 women all had to have the waiter set their phones for wifi.  Another gal had two phones!  They all had expensive lunches.  Guess who shared a meal.  We had plenty to eat.  The Greek salad must have had 3 tomatoes in it.  We are both enjoying stuffed vegetables.
The donkeys! I had to see the donkeys that carry people up the steep and winding stairs to the town.  Of course you could smell them long before you saw them.  I don't think seeing them was high on Roy list but on the way he found ball caps and that was a good thing.
We got back to the hotel and read until our driver came for us. The flight was delayed by 45 minutes.  A normal occurrence according to our driver in Athens.  This having a driver is pretty nice.  You go to the lobby or when you get off a plane, they are waiting for you, and drive you to your destination. Takes a lot of stress out of the trip.  We got our new room at the Melia and went in search of dinner.  We found a happy little street restaurant - the music was upbeat, the food was good, the waiter was a nice boy.  All good.
