everyone - meet christina...
she just graudated from undergrad at suffolk and is also working at Korres this summer. after our first week of work we felt we deserved a night out on the town and I wanted to prove to Christina that despite being 31 I could give her a run for her money out at the bars. we stopped off for a few beers at a cafe and ended up staying for 4 or so hours - funny how that always seems to happen. we were such loyal customers that they even gave us a free round of drinks. funny thing about greece - they love to give stuff away here - it's very common to get free wine and dessert at dinner or free shots at the cafes. personall i'm a big fan of this.
OH - also this is out of left field, but I can't believe I have NOT mentioned this yet...since the plumbing in greece is ancient you're not allowed to flush toilet paper down the toilet. supposedly the septic systems can't handle the waste so you have to drop it in small trash can beside the toilet. how gross is that??
Alright - back to Friday. well it took us a few days but we finally sniffed out the irish pub in a sea of european cafes. James Joyce's Pub is located in the Thissio area of athens and named after the famous Irish author - who by the way has been described as an alcoholic with a writing problem. The irish are so clever.
Once at the pub i ordered a beer and Christina ordered a shot of tequila. Upon finishing my beer I ordered another and she yet again ordered another shot of tequila. Oh to be 22 again.
We ended up meeting a couple of greek guys and had some laughs. At 1:30 one of us was tired and ready to go home and it was not the 31 year old...
