2019 Eurasia Adventure - Still Doing Time In Kalamata

In all reality we didn't have any choice about our timing as it coincided with available dates associated with grandchildren school vacations. And when the #2's couldn't make it, we lost a vehicle which meant we don't have enough space to go anywhere. So with it being May Day, the International Day of Labor (a big, big deal in any country with any history of Socialism of which a large part of Europe does), it was another day of everything being closed. To a certain degree, I have to say also that Wife and I are at that time in the trip where we are pretty tired and our bodies are having a tough time recuperating. So we just slept in late and then took a walk back along the waterfront for a few hours. Tomorrow and Friday we have a guide and driver taking us on some serious sightseeing.

Let's Beach It!

Why perspective matters

A couple of years ago in Florence, Italy a docent we were working with said that you should look at all sculpture from various angles and perspectives to understand what the artist is trying to portray

This sculpture is meant to honor the fishing workers

But looked at from 90 degrees difference

It looks like a body builder posing

 A study of 3.2

When I saw this place I wondered the heck a juicy spoon was

But I then realized the real innovation was the 'chill box'

Which is an insulated box to keep your frozen treat cold! 

Cool huh

(oops bad pun)

I find signage so interesting

What do we have here?

Sweet Bakery Ice Cream?

Ice Cream Coffee?

Coffee Pasta?

And you have to love...LOVE a beer with the name of...

The marketing slogan possibilities are endless...

"Get a Fix"

"Once you've had a Fix, you'll be back again and again"

"A day is not complete without a Fix"
