"greasy dudes in Greece"

Trip to Delphi today. I don't think even the Oracle could have explained why the tour company gave us more than three hours at various convenience stops and and then just an hour at the ruins... and LESS THAN AN HOUR at the museum. I could spend an hour just on The Charioteer alone. 

On our way home, Nu and Big A decided to stay outside while I picked up some stuff at the grocery. But suddenly Big A was at my elbow asking me if I needed help to carry stuff out. I did not, but A did not like the guy who'd let me cut the line and was talking to me. Nu and A think I talk to too many "greasy dudes in Greece." I just talk to everyone is all.

That's what I do -- talk to everyone. Most of the time it works out. Oracle Jeanie suspects that the tour company gets a cut from anything purchased at the convenience stores along the way!

LOL! Maya and Her Greasy Dudes sounds like a punk band.

I guess they are just looking out for you, but you are inherently friendly.

An hour or less doesn't seem like much for the ruins or museum, but there must be so many places to visit.

Stop talking o greasy dudes! I suspect the convenience stops pay for a longer stop so tourists can spend money there.

I love people and talking to them too, Jeanie. I mean, look at our jobs even.
(I suspected as much about the tour company, I wouldn't have minded the tour being an hour longer for more time at the site.)

I dislike the word "greasy" so it would have to happen without me :)!

maya said...

They are :). But also, I spend so much time without them and manage to take care of myself!

maya said...

I heart Greeks, you can't make me.

I suspected as much about the tour company, and wouldn't at all mind if I hadn't felt shortchanged at the the actual site...

But Steph, this tour was just for Delphi!

these evenings: concerts, movies, friends open beach, live oaks, flowers spilling bells with no alarms the cherry tree dropping shade to mak...
