Minor whoops

[bktheirregular]

Went out for a walk yesterday, stopped in an Everest (like a coffee shop/snack shop, something like that), and got a slice of pizza.

(This probably marks the first time I got pizza for myself in Greece.)

And I forgot my coin wallet on the counter.

Realized it when I was back on the road, a block away. Of course, by then, it was gone.

Total loss: not much. Less than five euros in change, plus the value of the wallet, which probably represented the vast majority of the lost value. (At any rate, it wouldn't have come close to covering the cost of the replacement coin wallet.)

(Yes, I got a new coin wallet. Coins wear out pockets pretty quickly if carried loose. Probably a lot like keys.)

(Maybe I need a key holder.)

(Except that the big honking security key to my apartment door probably wouldn't fit in one.)

mmmm...Greek pizza... I had some great stuff in...Nauplio, I think it was. Or was it Argos? Well, anyway, I found it was saltier than US pizza, but it was still really tasty.

There's probably places that do it very nicely; there's a pretty good place just up the hill from me, that I was introduced to by my aunt and uncle. I guess it's just that pizza's something I associate with home - with New York and the States.

Never been to Nafplio or Argos, myself - haven't done much of anything on the Peloponese, other than bus rides to the army base at Mesologi, or one trip through Patras from Ancona, or maybe a trip or two when I was very young that I don't really remember any more...

The Peloponese is awesome-- much quieter than Athina and environs. At least go see Mycenae and Tiryns; the 2 Bronze Age powerhouses are still really impressive.
