Today was a quiet day in Missolonghi. The highlight of the day was Ovi helping me repair a broken shelf in François, and by helping I mean Ovi did 98% of the work while I stood by offering encouragement. The result is a much improved shelf with more carrying capacity than the old one.
After that we spent the afternoon in Cory and Ovi’s boat chatting away. In the evening we moved the conversation to the marina bar. The owner of the bar came over and joined in the conversation. We are learning that the Greek’s are great conversationalists and are quick to embrace strangers into their circle. We are really enjoying meeting complete strangers who are quick to strike up a conversation even when the language barrier is high, everyone seems to work thru it, and before long everyone is laughing and acting like old friends. It is incredibly charming.
