I know why Greece is broke; they spend all their $$$ on desserts![]() Oh, right, the desserts reference. Everywhere you turn you find a "bakery" but not like any "bakery" you'd normally come across. These "bakeries" specialize in anything-sweet. Lots and lots and lots of chocolate. Did I mention chocolate? And coffee. And just about anything else that can have sugar added to it. In Wisconsin they do pub crawls; here you could do a bakery run and see if you could escape a town without exceeding your bike's weight limit. Tomorrow we'll be walking to all the historic sites in central Athens, Wednesday we'll be off to Delphi, Thursday morning we fly to Rome, Saturday morning to France and the next Tuesday we're home. I was talking to a guy on the plane who said "Shouldn't you take a month to do that?" Maybe he can afford a month away from work, but I can't, certainly not all at once. But what I should have told him is "I can't take a month off my bike!" |
