Crete
I just had the best gyro of my life, and it was only 2 euro.
Got to start taking my pocket language guide around with me again. I haven't been this illiterate since Russia. Even if you don't speak the same language, having the same alphabet helps. A lot. My eyes just kind of slide over the Greek letters like water.
Noticed something funny today. I pronounce words like "pizza" and "spaghetti" with an Italian inflection now. I imagine it'll drop away on its own since I'm not around Italians anymore, but it's amusing all the same.
I'm also getting catcalled a lot more since I started heading South. But you know what? I don't care. This doesn't mean I'm okay with the catcalling (if you know me, you know that me being okay with catcalling is compeltely impossible), but it does mean that the catcalling gets shuffled off to the side as a non-issue. Now, if the catcalling escalates to touching, that's a whole 'nother matter...
