Summer Journal 2012, August 19

Today we went swimming at Serapatomi.  Everyone went swimming but me.  I read my book under a cool little awning.  Although the seascape is absolutely beautiful, I don't care for the beach because it is sandy, and I'm so spoiled by the "tiny pebble" beach in Ierissos.  Stell's sister's, niece Mary, and nephew Aggelos Katsaggelos joined us.  They treated us to lunch in Nea Rhoda.  Again too much food.  The calamari was excellent, although Stell and I still believe Apisata's calamari is the best ever.

Tonight we will go to Aggelos' for a drink, then come back to babysit, so Carrie and Paris can have their last date night here.  Tomorrow they will begin packing, and I imagine we will leave a 5 in the morning on Tuesday for them to catch their 8 a.m. flight and so we can return their car to the rental place.  The days have gone so fast, but I do believe they've had a great holiday.  At the moment, however, Alexander is sobbing because his Mom has abandoned him to take a shower.

She has really learned to swim and today she was diving off of Aggelos Katsaggelos shoulders.
