A fascinating read, remenisent of the Colonel's colorful perspective of the world and humanity. I'm not one for Feta and my bf runs screaming from all cheeses, especially the more aromatic of the lot..no matter where they come from.

I recall passing through Athens in a cab some months back and listening to the driver moan about the government and how he and all the other Greeks were only starting down the road of economic suffering. I think they simply spend more than they earn, simple as that and they've accumulated some debt by letting it go on longer than it should have. Oh well, things are cheap in the City and the food exceptional, especially the cucumber and tomato salad in the restaurant I recommended.

Personally, I prefer life out on the Islands, a view over the town beach in Mykonos and the stunning beauties splashing about.
