Well I got one good sleep cycle in and am now tweakin with jet lag. And y'all know this is my place to tweak.
My final 10 hour flight was horrid. Norwegian Air offers no complimentary service. Charged me $6 for earphones and a half cup of crappy tea. I was in the seat in front of a horde of crying kicking babies and my vid screen wouldn't turn off or even dim. So no sleep. Then my iphone went wonky - still not getting service - so I couldn't call my mom for pick up from BART. Had to actually use a pay phone and the delay put her in traffic which freaked her out. I feel really bad about that. She's not that good a driver anymore.
Stacy & Tara are in Athens now. They say it's hot and like a 3rd world country now.
I should add that we went into one last church, even though we said the Basilica would be the final one. Some church was holding a free concerto - I didn't make note of which church - so we poked in to hear the organ. We only stayed for a few tunes. They put out a offerta basket, and I tossed in my change as I left, somewhat saddened that this mighty gorgeous ancient church (whatever it was) wasn't making as much as the street buskers playing Ed Sheeran tunes.
Now some airline movie reviews? Yes, I think so.
