After we all got dressed in warm cloths, we started to head out and find a place to eat. Obviously since we're 16 we can't drive so it will take a long time to walk to our destination, great huh.
As we walked down the streets, I noticed that their weren't many sidewalks. This meant that we either had to walk on the tiny trail next to the buildings or walk on the road and hope to live. We walked on the trail for safety, though if it were up to me, we'd be running on the road to the land of food.
I don't know why, but I love Greek food. It's actually close to my favorite. I guess though that's because ever since I was little, Fang's mom would make my family and I a Greek-filled dinner and after that, dessert. Your probably wondering why my family would go to our neighbor's house to eat dinner. Well, let's just say that no one in my family can cook. The last time my mom tried to she started a fire. Plus we were already good friends with Fang's family and we all loved the food Fang's mom makes so it became a tradition of sorts. But sadly Fang's mother died a year ago and the tradition started to fade out because no one could bring themselves to laugh or talk at the dinner table without her…moving on.
My favorite Greek foods would have to be Gyro's, Feta cheese, and Egg Lemon Soup. My favorite drink would definitely have to be Evie, Epso, or Lemon Fanta (they all are technically the same, just different names). My favorite dessert would have to be… Galactipurrico (if you can't pronounce, than do what I do and just call it Galactic Burrito even though that's not what it is). These things might sound weird to you but once you try it, you'll want more.
As I was rambling on in my head to you, I realized that we stopped moving. I picked my head up and saw that we were at a place called Goody's. The kids ran inside and we quickly ordered our food. Our food contained burgers, fries, and a drink. The place really did look and have the same exact food as any McDonald's or Burger King would. It was just better… like since it's in Greece it makes it more exciting. Also the fact that this place had T.V screens with MTV playing on them…It was like I was in a Greek McDonald's! BUT BETTER. No wonder they wanted to come here, they get a free toy and it's not Greek food.
…I'm not going to bore you about our piggish eating habbits and how the bathroom looked like a disco party for some reason. But I will tell you about Fang and I's conversation. It went like this:
"Fang, what are we going to do after we eat?" I whispered to him when the rest weren't looking.
"Probably go back to the beach and play around until we get tired. Why?" Fang asked.
"…I was just wondering." I replied back with a yawn.
Fang seeing that I was tired said "If the kids get tired we'll go in the Hotel and sleep. If not, you can always sleep on a blanket in the sand." I gave him my "Thank-god-you-are-awesome" look and went back to eating my food.
After we ate we walked back to the Hotel so the kids can go put their swimsuits on. They actually wanted to go swimming again. Maybe their too excited and that's why they aren't tired. Well lucky for them not me because I'm about to pass out right now.
Once we got to the same sitting spot on the sand as last time, I lay down and expected the sand to be nice and soft. It wasn't. I quickly stood up and realized I hurt my side. Great, another thing to be worried about.
Fang joined me by sitting down and patting the space next to him. I sat next to him and saw that he grew taller than me over the past year. Not that I didn't notice before, but I just got reminded now. I was always taller than him so it kind of bothered me that I wasn't now.
What I didn't notice while I was ranting was that Fang put his arm around my waist and rested my head on his shoulder. The last thing I thought before drifting off to sleep is that him being taller than me wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
