Change of Plans

Our original plan had been to head east on the Peloppenese and hit some other ruin sites but after Olympia we changed our mind. We had seen enough ruins in the last six months to last us a lifetime so we decided to head south to nice beaches and relax for the end of our trip. Methoni, Greece was where we stayed. It was a long and hot train ride there (no air conditioning), but we made it. The beaches were great and very calm. There was also a fort and castle there which was ruins enough for us. We enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach and then headed to see the castle that evening which was turned out to be closed. We met two Americans there though which we ended up spending the evening with. Vince lived in Colorado and Alexandra in New Jersey. We agreed that they were two of the most intelligent people we have ever met. They knew a little bit about everything and were so interesting. It was good to be back with some Americans. Tres' loved eating with them because she is originally Greek born so she just went in the kitchen and ordered tons of different foods for us to try. Tres said it was the best meal he had the hole trip, possibly, one of the best his whole life :) We had a great night and were very full on real Greek cuisine.
