Where Did Joe and Devo Go?

Travel, Friendship, Giggles

Category: Greece

Day 16: Acropolis Now: Redux, Skate Parth, Gyro Trash, Back to DeFacto, Trip Home, all of it.

While I was waiting I was treated to a familiar scene in any country, an old lady hectoring the old man at the bakery counter. It felt good to be there, like I was firmly embedded in everyday Greek life.

Day 15: Day 15?

This trip is over. It ended when we got back to Heraklion. All we're on now is a two day ride to the airport. We're gliding in on residual energy. We're running out of euros, clean clothes, and patience.

Day 14: Backlion to Heraklion

For the first time I noticed the one Joe was wearing was cut much higher than the one I had on. I found this to be hilarious and Joe insisted that I had known the whole time and had purposefully given him the 'sexier' suit. I promise this is not the case. Pure luck of the draw.

Day 13: I’m Writing This from a Pair of Joe’s Underwear

We were too close to it to even get a sense of the shape of the plane. All I wanted was a sense of the shape. Nick made a joke about it not really being a plane but some garbage they put out there to fool the tourists. Not funny, Nick. That one hits a little too close to home.

Day 12: Crete Jungle

There are no ferrets on Crete but there is something called a Least Weasel, which, as far as names go, is right up there with Pension George. I think the proper article to use when referring to a Least Weasel is 'the.' As in, "That's the Least Weasel of any weasel I've ever seen."

Day 11: The More You Knossos

He pushed the button for English and only like, four words turned to English so Joe was like, fuck that, and walked over to the human-being kiosk and bought two tickets from him. Then we walked straight on to a bus that took us straight to the Palace of Knossos. Way to go Joe.

Day 10: Heraklion We Go

They played fast. They played slow. They played bright. They played heavy. It takes real talent to make a flute sound heavy. They were basically the Led Zeppelin of classical Greek instrumental music.

Day 9: This Party Lifestyle is Not For Us

What are we doing? What are YOU doing. Don’t ask us questions like that. We’re wondering where your parents are, that’s what we’re doing.

Day 8: Myko-yes!

Great, I though, we're gonna pay ten euro each to get stuffed onto this crowded dance floor. Turns out stuffed onto a dance floor is my preferred way to dance. I'm never sure what to do with my arms anyway so it's a relief to have them pinned to my body.

Day 7: Black Sanded

When she brought out our food, the waitress asked which one of us was Greek. This is the highest compliment a tourist can receive and I believe was earned purely on the strength of our food order.
