Reconsideration

Intense Kalamata market and beach front

Back to the beach...
... exposure to this lifestyle and I want to see a big gaudy wedding dress (and yes they air "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" in Greece). I guess one of the neighbors also spoke through Ilectra to warn us not to leave our towels to dry on the railings because the ...
Blades is in the house!!
I was laughed at first thing in the morning after Kelly and Will did a double take, almost in shock, when they first saw me. What the heck is wrong with me now? almost at the same time there were some nice comments about my appearance; first of all ...

Meet up with Timothy at Mark Warner San Agostino
After overnighting in Athens, I took the coach to Kalamata. The bus/coach services in Greece are usually pretty good, and this was no exception, and it's a great journey travelling through the heart of the Peloponese. The reason for heading to ...
Figs and Olives
... full day doing about 40 minutes of sightseeing to the large church and up to the castle, but it wasn't overly stimulating. Luckily we have other plans for the afternoon - Kalamata's riveting collection of nothing isn't exactly the reason we came ...
BBQ Greek style
... . Again I was very impressed with Wills driving as he safely got us home and down from the dangerous and busy road back to Kalamata. Even though it was late and we were all tired, we had showers before getting ready for bed. I must have been extremely ...
Shopping in Kalamata....and the beach.
... girls and I bought a dress. Hmm, come to think of it I don't think Will got anything? Oops. The population of Kalamata is approximately 70,000 and I swear three quarters of the population owns a scooter/moped/motorcycle and pretty much everyone spends ...
We can do this, we can do this!
Thanks again to my sister Cindy for her early morning taxi ride to the airport. I must say Will did a really good job with our flight times and route. We flew to Toronto and had a short wait for a couple of hours and flew straight to Athens. The ...
Pylos, Methoni Castle and Voidokoilia beach

Beach morning...relaxing afternoon...
Well...I guess we won't be celebrating Kellys birthday until tomorrow. We had our days all mixed up and had made birthday plans for today...oops, better early than late. After slowly waking up, we ate breakfast and headed to the beach. We really need ...
Greek Weak
... the women of France, Spain, and Italy were thin, beautiful, and stylish. This is in counterpoint to the women of Greece who, with one exception look like Nia Valardos with Tom Selleck's moustache. One more reason to bail out of this part ...
Who wants velvet feet?? Haylee and Kelly do!
During our patio session last night I started to look for different things to do in Kalamata and found a place called Velvet Feet. After explaining to the kids that little fish come and nibble the dead cells from your feet Haylee and Kelly didn't think ...
Low key in Kalamata
We woke up when we woke up and started our day with breakfast and coffee. After packing up we headed to the local beach for a couple of hours. Will probably would have left the beach earlier but he was waiting for the donut to come by and we finally ...
