Unfortunately, our time in Greece has come to a close. This has been a fantastic trip with great weather, beautiful ancient sites and history, and warm and welcoming people. A few final odds and ends:
- Gyro and souvlaki pitas are fantastic! Every meal has been great, but I will miss these the most. I think we ate one every day.
- The plumbing is not so great. You don't put toilet paper in the toilet, but in the wastebasket next to the toilet. Our understanding is because the pipes are small and clog easily. We experienced this same issue when we traveled to Russia. Not a big deal, but we had to keep reminding ourselves as not every bathroom had a sign.
- The Greeks are very proud of their country. We were warmly welcomed and everyone seemed happy to provide assistance.
- It was amazing to walk the same sites and experience 3,000 years of history first hand. While we read about Ancient Greece in school, being able to experience it in person was breathtaking.
- Driving in Greece is an offensive sport. Stop signs (when there are any) are merely a suggestion as are speed limits.
- We need to plan a return trip.
