Piu greca d'italiana

So we've arrived in Lefkada. It is currently 11:10 am on June 3rd. In NY it is 4:11 am. By Greek time, we've traveled for almost 2 days. The place we are staying is a beautiful hotel with a nice country-side/rustic feel to it. It's almost scary how Greek it is. It's not the Greece you see in a movie with ABBA songs or Alexis Bledel, but its EXTREMELY close. We've become very close and familiar with the owners. Which makes me nervous because people are not meant to be so nice. It is a bit overcast today so we may not hit up the beach, but we will walk around in hopes that it gets warmer. My dear sweet cousin likes to sit on my bed with me, not because she enjoys my company, but because that's where the WI-FI is strongest. Rotten bastard. And of course, my darling sister is determined to be at the beach. Not necessarily in the water, but at the beach. I think she missed her calling as some kind of tropical lifeguard. Thankfully, our collective lack of Greek has not proven too much of a hindrance. Most places have some knowledge of English and the ones that don't, we've been able to make ourselves understood. For example, by pointing at the chicken and spaghetti, we are able to explain, "We want chicken and spaghetti and not the roast lamb and vegetables of indeterminable origin." Pictures are to come, but please have some patience because the camera I am using only allows for so many pictures before having to empty out the memory card and the quality won't be as amazing as anything you are used to. That's this for this entry. I simply wanted to update and catalog our trip so far, and being that we've been blessed with the gift of the internets, it was a perfect opportunity. And now, like the clothes on Greek men, we're off.
