Athens, Greece
As most of you know, Debbie and Larry have returned from their vacation. We feel obligated to get them home so will publish a couple more posts.
*****************************************************************************
We awoke to our last full day of vacation with Larry complaining of a sore throat. Of course, on a last day one must say farewell to their friends. So, Larry, Debbie and Joyce made a farewell visit to the pharmacy. It was apparent Debbie had bonded with the pharmacists. She acted as an interpreter while the pharmacists supported Debbie in her scolding of Larry and his lack of drinking water. Sales will be good for the month of October for the pharmacy due to the American tourists. We didn’t hug when we left (Debbie could tell that they wanted to hug her but were afraid of getting sick).
We decided to go shopping on our last day and used the metro instead of walking. Athens takes the Metro more seriously than most of the places that we visited. If you are caught without a ticket or have not validated your ticket, the fine is 60 times the value of the ticket. (this is not a typo) So, our fine would be 9 X 60 for 540 Euro. We did feel fairly confident that we had a ticket, it was validated and no one ever checked. Athens also had lots of people that approach you for money or to sell you something. Debbie just blows past saying no while Larry sometimes tries to reason with them. (Your selfie stick will not fit my camera and my wife would break it if I brought one home).

Debbie was in the lead and as she exited, a woman dressed in jeans held up something that she wanted to sell. Debbie refused to make eye contact and blew past. The woman then stepped in front of Larry. He faked left and then ran past her to the right. Debbie had stopped to wait for Larry and saw the run around. She also saw the shock on the woman’s face and that she started yelling about validation. Then she yelled “I am with the police” and pointed to 5 to 6 fully armed police officers all turned to look at Larry. Another big officer came up behind Larry and asked if there was a problem. . Debbie walked back and found out that the lady was actually with the police and wanted to check our validation. Debbie and Larry explained that they thought the lady wanted money which seemed to shock her. (Maybe she comes to work in a bubble everyday. We don’t understand how she could miss it). They both had their validation checked and passed. (Debbie did sweat a bit as she had decided that she did not need to validate every time but we all know that she makes stuff up. Turned out she was correct this time. Joyce and Jerry walked by like they did not know the people surrounded by the police). The big officer gave Larry a pat on the back and told him that it was okay. (Debbie thinks that it is because Larry looked like he might faint. Larry says it is because he had bonded with the big guy).
On we continued for the shopping spree. Debbie and Joyce sent Larry and Jerry to a restaurant for coffee to wait. While shopping, the skies opened up and poured rain. The streets flooded and trapped Joyce and Debbie in a store. We can not imagine being at the Acropolis in this storm. The water was about a foot deep in the streets and running fast. Eventually, Joyce and Debbie made it to the restaurant for lunch. It was amazing that by the time, lunch was over that the streets had cleared. They headed back to the flat in time for Debbie and Larry to leave for their hotel.
After much agony, Debbie had decided to take a taxi to their hotel for the night. Debbie and Larry’s flight left at 6:30 AM which meant that they needed to be at the airport around 4:15. If they left from the flat, it would be 2:30 in the morning. Debbie could not envision them walking to the bus at 2:30 dragging a suitcase. (Someone might ask them for money and not in a nice way) Thus, the hotel. Debbie downloaded a taxi app, told Larry to get ready and hit schedule. “There will be a taxi at your door in 1 minute”. One minute! Really does a taxi come in 1 minute?” Why, yes it does.
They hurriedly said goodbye, threw their bags in the taxi and were off to the hotel. They were both pretty excited by a shower with a shower curtain and some of the amenities.
