The following is taken from Matt O’Brien (comedian); viz., featured image and text. I was captured by this because it records the gusto of a young man for travel. Matt is married to my niece, the daughter of my sister and her husband. The account constitutes my vicarious enjoyment of the trip!
listen, these Europe dumps are mostly for my family but feel free to enjoy:
WEEK 2- we bopped around Florence and Rome and when I tell you we saw everything we saw EVERYTHING. We were (and still are) exhausted but the food and the buildings are insane. I am absolutely having the best dumps of my life. I’d love to blast Weezers blue album inside the Pantheon.
Then we flew off to Santorini in Greece which is a beautiful little island and I rented the sketchiest little hatchback car that can barely handle how insanely bad the roads are. Most people drive ATVs here and when I told the car rental guy I was getting a CAR car he patted me on the shoulder and said “uh oh”.
We still managed to drive all over this island, eating everything we can, feeding stray cats even though we were told not to, and jumping off cliffs (which I absolutely destroyed my nuts doing because I didn’t pencil dive correctly).
We also had a drink in Plaka which was one of the highest points of the island and TOMORROW we head to Santorini for 3 days and then London for 3 days and then HOME where I’m going to play my dogs stomach like a harmonica because I miss her so so much.
