Screw current events - I'm in GREECE

i'd forgotten - actually,i'm not sure i ever really KNEW - what REAL vacations were like... i've been here in siviri, halkidiki peninsula, greece, since last tuesday... every day has been a slow start, up at 8, breakfast, shower, to the beach by 10:30-11... back to the room by 1:30-2... a nap... back to the beach at 5... then a little dinner followed by more sittin' around, takin' it easy, and then bed by 10... vacations in the u.s. seem to be characterized by "what are we going to do next?"... not here... the flow is slow, slow, slow, and, once you get used to it, it's just terrific...

needless to say, my interest in keeping up with current events is somewhat less than normal...
