Where We Be

| Katakolon, Greece |
| We threw all our plans to the winds and just relaxed |
After seven different ports of call in seven
days, we were plain tuckered out. We wimped
out on our plans to visit ancient Olympia --
home of the first Olympics, and about an hour
away by train -- and instead made a relaxing
foray into Katakolon where our cruise ship
was docked. We lounged at a cafe sipping
drinks then took a quick spin through town.
Quaint shops and restaurants lined the
harbor, and you could do a lot worse than sit
at one of the outdoor cafes and watch the day
go by gazing out at the mesmerizing blue
water. The town is located on the western side
of Greece's Peloponnesian Peninsula.
Meanwhile my parents had a fun outing at a
nearby farm where they ate homemade Greek
food and watched traditional dancing. They
even brought us back some tasty baklava.
