We took everyone to Mediterranean Mega Fashion. It was the Chinese discount version of the fancy tourist shops and we were all about it!! Eli especially went crazy. He found sunglasses, a hat, a man purse, a neon outfit. It was all basically junk, but exciting. The owners spoke neither English or Greek, but they knew the word cash. I ended up having to go to a bank a quarter of a mile down the road. When I backed up I hit the curb and heard a loud crunch. I thought I had dented the dented rental car they gave me and was a little worried.
We swam some more at the house and relaxed. We then got ready for a fancy upscale dinner on the coast to watch the sunset. It was very bougie and we almost didn't get it, even though we had reservations. The service was very very very slow. Compared to a 80 year in Costco, it could be on equal status. And we were used to meals taking a long time, but this one dragged. It was excellent though. Not our best meal, but still delicious. Jay and Rachel were so generous to treat us. It was magnificent to watch the sun set in Santorini. There is nothing like it.
The littles did great. After 3 hours, I needed a walk!! I took them to get some gelato. Then everyone else joined us and got some too! It was a lovely night. Jody took the girls to their first club afterwards!! I would have gone but was exhausted. He bought them redbulls and took them to Santorini's famous club. It was a little lame. Maria was exhausted, a 30 year old was hitting on Nina, and Jody was dancing on the stage to avoid broken glass. But he couldn't avoid an Irish gentleman who came up to him, touching his arm, whispering in his ear... "Eh, mon.... d'ya 'av any cocaine or ectasy on ya?" Unfortunately, Jody did not. This time. Alas. The disappointed Irish man walked away to find another person of color to ask. Oh wait, there were no more Black people with braids.
Everyone slept well!! That's for sure. It was a great one for the books.
