To Clarify

Socrates supposedly taught students between the ages of 12 to 16 to question tradition and to always think for themselves. But I guess he, along with other teachers, also taught his students other "things" about life. Like sexual things. And I think most of them were boys.

Today is half over but so far I have had fun. I had two gyros at the place called "Pita Pan" (such an awesome name), hid my watch in my pocket so I could ask a random passerby on the street "Ti ora einai;" or "What time is it?", then walked down to the Monastiraki area, found what I wanted then sat in a random restaurant and had a Sprite while a greek band played. It was really good. There was a male and female singer, a guitar and bass I think. I sat there and these girls in front of me, four Greek girls, kept sneaking looks at me and laughing when I would yell, "Wooh!" at the music. Especially when my wooh was too late at one point, after all the clapping had finished. That was the extent of my interaction with them. The Sprite was 3.50 but I considered it paying for watching the band too. It was well worth it, being there for a hour and a half.

I then had a crepe that was good with cinnamon and cream in it.

So I did something Greek today.

  1. You did do something Greek! I love two things - one was how you put your watch in your pocket so you could ask people the time in Greek. I had this funny scene pop into my head of you pulling your sleeve down over your hand and going up to people, asking in Greek, "Excuse me, have you seen my hand?" Then the other was when you where Whoo! ing in front those girls, and probably kind of liking how they turned around to look at you and smiling. But then you Whoo'd too late once. That just kills me. Like the guy trying to impress some girls and tripping or something, or doing a really cool move with an ice cream cone but having it fall in your pants. Too funny. D
