After checking out the museum above where we saw the ruins to see recovered statues, we started the drive to Nafplion over the mountains of the Peloponnesian Penisula. Before the winding four hour drive, though, we ate at the Taverna “Ta Pefka.” Much delicious Greek food was served including lamb, peppers, and a fried cheese in addition to the Greek salad served with a large slice of goat cheese.
Greece seems to me at certain points to be the Mexico of Europe. Imitation Rolexes branded with other names, umbrellas, and typical knockoff purses can all be purchased along the waters of Nafplion. Parts of the city also remind me of the French Quarter of New Orleans. We also arrived during Carnivale so Eva told us to watch out for gypsies who were out to pickpocket. Lots of kids were dressed as Spider-Man and one was dressed as Superman, but there were no Batmans. This country must favor blue and red.
Sat down tonight with some others to see Kevin’s deaf-mute friend that he met when he was a student here. Really interesting to see the Pictionary conversation. Most of it was probably lost in translation though.
