I Am Love For You

Once we got back into Athens, we settled for a nice taverna outside of the bustling downtown buzz and had Greek salad, patates and kotopulo souvlaki --- ahah, BUENO!

There isn't a whole lot to write here, because we were just sitting here for a few hours... But what I can write is the company was wonderful. I love Melina, she's such a wonderful person and her friend Karam, from the get-go, welcomed me and both of them made me feel so much at home and apart of their friends.

Karam was still trying to tell Melina how much he loved her and, oh, bless his heart, it always came out in the funniest ways.
He is Egyptian and I suppose the way they speak in Arabic doesn't translate properly, or directly to Greek.  And so, everytime he would say something as simple as, 'I want you to sit', it would come out as 'I am want you sit'..or something like that! At one point, he kept saying 'I am love for you'. Oh, it was so cute, but damn! It was funny.  Oh man, our conversations were shot to hell half the time they weren't making anymore sense!
We kept trying to correct him and then he would go on a tangent and speak to me in Greek really fast and I would have to say,'WOAH! Back up! Slowly!!!'

Two more friends joined and one didn't know much Greek. When Karam would begin speaking to his buddy, this guy would say, "HEY! IN ARABIC, I only know 6 phrases!"

Oh my God, I hadn't laughed this much since Lianne and I had our own little party in Santorini with Dirty Dancing!

When 1:30 finally came around, we said our goodbyes, but made plans for today --- CHYEAH!

Since I won't be sleeping tonight --- my flight is at 5AM and I have to be at the airport for 2AM, I will be meting up with Melina and Karam and will most likely have another great night like last night. Orea! NICE!

Cheers, my Homeslices! IYA MAS, my Homeslices!!
