Monday, Phase 2
8PM- After luxuriating in a wonderfully fragrant bath of citrusy Verbena toiletries, we shared a fabulous gourmet Greek meal with our new BFF and war-time compatriot, Polly on the top floor of the Sofitel of Greek salads, stuffed squid, moussaka and some fabulous mushroom provencale side dish, which we all agreed won. And Ouzo, of course.
Feelings were jubilant and grateful as we recounted how very fortunate we 3 were, literally plucked to be #’s 68, 69 & 70 out of thousands. Then there was the good fortune of going to Athens instead of farther east to Bahrain. We agreed to exchange photos and keep in touch with Polly from opposite coasts and she gets credit for most of these photos on the blog on Egypt. My camera is back in Tampa with Chris, where I will be in a week. Thanks to Walker Travel, I got to fly directly back to Maroc via Gatwick from Athens, so I spent an extra night in the hotel we had already booked for him with Chris that was not planned. And I got a Boots, the Chemist fix at Duty-Free!!!!
Important lessons learned:
1. The power of 3 way exceeds the power of 2
2. Never cheap out on your hotel
3. You CAN open a beer bottle with an eyelash curler
4. The police are not always there to protect you
5. Sometimes having a bomb in the trunk is a good thing
6. There is no such thing as packing too light
7. And my favorite - If you’re going to be dumb, you gotta be tough (Thank you, Mead!)
