Where We Be

| Katakolo, Greece |
| We threw all our plans to the winds and just relaxed |
Okay, we admit it: after seven days in a row of
visiting different ports of call 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 Katakolo
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.
