Family-visit/fulfilling a filial piety (by bringing a 67-y/o mother) trip to Greece by taking a 10-day paid leave (such an un-japanese like). Gained 6 kg over a mere 12 days of unconstrained gobbling. Not much of Athens, but turned out to be a fun hopping-around trip over Peloponnese peninsula.
四捨五入したら70のお母さんと一緒に最後の欧州(より移動時間的には遠い）孝行旅行。半年前から計画していたものの、予期せぬ引き継ぎなどでゴタゴタの中有給10日程消化という周りから顰蹙を買いそうな中トンズラ。それでもあんまり炎上しなかったのは、所詮雇われ人など（大統領でもExxonの社長でも誰しもそうだが）代替可能なわけで、それを肌で感じれたのが、望外の収穫でした。絶好のクライミングロケーション各所を目の前にして傍から眺めるだけだったのが一番の心残り。
Memo:
Climate (Mid-Sept.): Sunscreen is must. Slightly less hot, thus less high-season than preceding months in Sept.
Folks: Friendly, hospitable and good with children (with no exception as far as I recall). There seem to be many (in proportion to the entire population of 10 M) people engaged in service/tourism industries, and the dystopian preconception of debt-crisis was almost non-existent in the eyes of a beach-hopping tourist.
Weight gain: Eating dairy products to the point of feeling bloated (a while after every meal) is surest way to gain the weight.
Delicacies:
Greek Yogurt: Thick and sticky and goes well without any sugar, but also goes pretty well with honey
Greek Salad: Initially palatable, yet slightly fed up with feta cheese at the end of trip
Tzatziki & Taramo Salata: Yogurt & Fish egg pastes as an appetizer
Seafood: Pricier but worth the higher cost
Moussaka: Greek Lasagna
9/5-6: Voula(nearby Athens), Glyfada
9/7-8: Gythio > Diros Cave
9/9: Monemvasia, Elafonisos (island)
9/10-11: Kyparissi, Leonidio, Krioneri
9/12-13: Nafplio, Mykines, Epidavros, Corinth Canal
9/15: Voula, Chamolia (No picture)
9/16: Voula, Athens (with mother)
