Hannah and Jack playing on the beach. This may be her Bo Derek moment?
Hannah and John got Henna tattoos. The henna was much thinner (less muddy) than in Doha, but is also stained the skin much much darker, and stayed for a long time.
For the record, that is a pig on one foot and a chicken foot on the other. The henna girl was sweet but not much of a chicken-foot-drawer. Anyway, british sailors way back to the time of Drake and Scott and the other crazy-half-pirate world explorers of the British crown, used to be afraid of drowning. I can't imagine why, since they were going to the edges of the earth on unknown oceans to places on the map only marked as "beyond be monsters," and doing so in leaky wooden boats with great big rats on board. The only survivors of many shipwrecks were the pigs and chickens, because they were kept on board in sturdy wooden crates and would simply float to shore safely, while all other hands were down hanging out with Davy Jones. So the superstition arose among the old salts that a pig and a chicken tattoo on your feet served as a talisman against drowning.
(And do you wonder why we started calling him "Daddypedia"?)
Have we mentioned how nice the Greeks make beer? Perfect for beach drinking.
Waiting on the ferry back to Athens.
