Weather: Sunny.
Location: Cafe Athansiou--"flavor of sweet history"--Kalamata.

I got up early and caught the 7am bus back to Kalamata. I'm headed for Kardamyli, 37 km south of here, but the two buses per day leave at 5:30am (gah!) and 13:10. Since my bus got here half an hour ago I have some 3 1/2 hours left to kill. Hopefully one of the Internet cafes will be open.

After dinner last night (yummy chicken souvlaki) I stopped in a bar on the way home that the Brits had recommended. They weren't there, but I got a couple of games of pool in with the local guys. They were surprised that I'd heard of Finikoundas in Canada. I think they mainly see package tour groups.

The village was especially pretty this morning in the twilight. All was still (except the birds yakking their beaks off) and even the waves did no more than lap at the beach. The sun rose while I was on the bus - but by then I had my head back, asleep.
