In Which We Make Some Friends

Hey guess what John and I have us some BUDDIES! We have completely shocked the PANTS off our favorite waiter at the restaurant we frequent every night by bringing in guests not one but TWO nights in a row. HOLYCRAP!

Last night John met a fellow hotel guest in the lobby and invited her and her traveling friend out with us to dinner - the two of 'em are dear old friends from when they were mere tots who are exploring the world a bit while the job market is crap (so they'll be on the road for what, the next 3-10 years?). Turns out they make for great doubles partners on the air hockey table... let's just say we'll be seeing them again during their week here.

AND!! We now have weekend VISITORS who we can claim as our Greek friends from ATHENS. Why? Because we're that awesome (actually, it's more that THEY are that awesome). You might remember from about a month ago when I wrote about my favorite NYC broker getting me in touch with one of his best friends who happens to live in Greece with her boyfriend... WELL, we had so much fun in Athens that they are VISITING this weekend! Even better? I might be able to keep my claim of this as a "travel blog" when we take off tomorrow for some historical sites and small mountain towns full of stinky, noirish Creten men.

So stay tuned! There just might be exciting, travely things to report on oh-so-soon...
