argos, day 6 (august 6th)

palamidis palace in naufplio at night.



today is saturday, and we just got back from the beach with dina. the day was much cooler than it has been, so cool in fact that we decided to leave the beach early. after we left, it actually started to rain. i decided to go into the water sparingly, and while i was laying out, i kept my shirt on. i realized this morning that what i thought had been a very bronze tan actually looks more maroon than i would prefer. so i thought that i would give my skin a rest, and keep out of the sun for most of the day (under an umbrella).

after we came home, we had lunch, and are taking advantage of the greek practice of napping or resting after lunch. i can get more used to this.

later tonite we will go to a show at the ancient theater nearby. (my uncle said that when he was a kid, my dad would go there and play (with himself). i suppose that it is fair that he said that since my dad would tell me that herakles was a punk when he was young, due to the fact that he knew he could always count on my dad and george to use their clout to bail him out of whatever trouble he had gotten into. so now i get to hear both sides.) i think that it will be a neat experience to see a show in an ancient theater like that, even if we wont completely understand the show. i remember when i came to greece before, i had seen a concert at the ancient theater as well, but i dont remember it too well.
