I think about it--just take a minute and breathe...and take it in, right?
*music*
Hey you guys!
Thanks for joining us on another journey
Today we're in Greece and we just got done visiting Sounion
you sound japanese--it's not japanese, it's Greek. anyway if you're new to the
channel, this is April and I'm Wayne. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!
*music*
Where are we at April? Archaeological Site of Sounion, this
is the Temple of Poseidon--look at that sailboat. oh yeah
Quintessential, you know?
Ruins in one shot--modern--to turn to the sailboat on the sea in the other. Yup. I think about it--just take a minute and breathe...and take it in,
right? it's pretty spectacular, wouldn't you say? yeah it is spectacular. with that ocean
breeze... You know what blows my mind is what had preserved it? is it the ocean air that has helped preserve it?
probably--yeah it's probably just because of the granite that it's made out of. the
marble? yeah marble, granite I'm not sure what it is. The history...it's pretty profound
*music*
This one, this one
Oh, thank you so much. You're welcome
That's so very kind of you
What is that?
He said it's a traditional Christmas vegetable that they
use for good luck. oh really? and what do you call it?
I can't find the right one for the--in the English one
You eat the root? Or you just eat the leaves?
No, no--you cannot eat it
You just decorate it
Oh, it's a decoration
Sorry that's me saying vegetable... You decorate it. Ah, this is perfect, I will give this to my friend in Athens
So you would decorate it and what would be decorated? yes I will decorate this for
good luck. What do you put on it? Nothing you put it
outside from the door. Oh so it's almost like mistletoe--or similar to mistletoe. There are more. Oh ok. You need to have good properties that you can put it--soil...
Gotta have the right environment... beautiful, thank you...
*music*
what is it? the temple seen today was built between 444 and 440 BC on a
terrace constructed from the marble of a destroyed temple from 480 BC. can you
believe that? so the original was built by the Persians and it was destroyed
before being completed so then when they came they found plenty of votive objects
buried and then they rebuilt on the foundation. that's crazy. That's so freakin'
cool!
*music*
You feel that humidity? oh yeah--I think this would be better on your back. that's kind of what I was thinking, take the handicap
spot because I'm old and decrepit... Well that sounds racist. What sounds racist?
To say take the handicapped way when you're old and decrepit. Dogging on the handicapped. Well I'm feeling handicapped. I'm just so glad to not be sitting on the plane. right? Very cool. yeah. I think well worth the 10 Euros
It was 5 euros a piece to get there--for entrance--yeah
*music*
what's the name of the restaurant? *Greek pronunciation*
Say that, Wayne
Say that one more time? *Greek pronunciation*
I'm not gonna even try it, that's so awesome
Yeah, you say it very well. So pretty to hear it in Greek. Yes
No, don't even try it
It's this...
thank you, thank you. I wasn't even trying that one
yeah. Ohh, I'm so excited to have Greek olives in Greece! Right? Hell yeah!
Big ol' piece of feta. Man that is such a pretty salad
every time an olive now all I think of is our Airbnb host that
where we were in Montenegro
the way he said olive......
I noticed when I eat feta at
home I can't have as big of chunk of it. I like you have to use less of it because it's too salty
Want more cucumber? oh yeah. Mmm, that cucumber is so good
The feta's creamier as well... Oh my god, this is like...surrreal
did you ever think (to quote you, you like to do that with me)
did you ever think you'd be eating a Greek salad in Greece? yeah? I've always wanted
to come here. I know-- but I also want to go everywhere so-- yeah
Oh, look at this
Oh wow, it's so beautiful
Oh yum. Is that cheese? yes, thank you. So it's like spaghetti and shrimp. But you know the spaghetti should probably be good here
We are near Italy. Well I think...
They make a lot of
similar spaghetti food in Greece as well. It's like more al dente. yeah--I like it. I actually prefer it that way
It's tasty. yeah it's definitely on a-- milder than my spaghetti. It's just not
burn your mouth off flavor like you like to do! Everything should have lots of
peppers. Lots of pepper, lots of garlic
I don't understand why European food is so much better than American food. I guess we
just mess with our food too much it's really what it boils down to-- it's too processed--
I think in Europe in general I think people are more...Americans are more
consumers, right? we need more crap but it's not quality, its quantity
we don't need something that's good quality, we just need a lot of crap
right--Where everywhere we go, they have smaller places, smaller houses, smaller things, less clutter right
But we have lots of garbage, like you can't even find the store to go
buy something in, you know it's like, just trying to find a regular store is
much different than the US where everything is like a strip mall
I saved you a shrimp, I see that
What does cooking it in the shell do? Well they just left the head on it
oh it's the head. does it leave flavor, does it I have no idea, it's more I
think more of a picture. Oh
We just got done eating lunch--linner--amazing, well yeah, linner. we're not
sure what time it is it's like 3 o'clock in the afternoon here, but our bodies
don't know what time it is. still on American time. I was hungry
Anyway we ate lunch, it was a shrimp and pasta meal. we had two house wines and oh
my goodness! A fresh Greek salad, yeah 26 euros. Yes, delicioso. we also give you the link to
the restaurant definitely worth checking out
