Ferry Ride Inferno

Hi all!
I don't have too much time so I'm going to be quick but my ferry ride to Lesvos last night was maybe the single most miserable experience of my life! The weather ended up turning foul and we basically were sailing against gale force winds and through a storm. Our seats were on the deck so we had to seek shelter inside at the lounge are. At the bar the sodas kept flying off of the shelf and even the refrigerator was lurching forward! To make matters worse I think it's mandatory to smoke if you're greek! It was like 12 hours of being in an ash tray! I felt like I was going to be sick sitting on the bar stool so I retreated to a stairwell which was also full of smoke and tried to focus on not throwing up. This proved to be hard as every second a new person came running by towards the bathroom to puke. Luckily I didn't throw up and managed to live through the event. Sorry I can't be more descriptive at this time but Lesvos has turned out to be worth the trip in a culinary sense! I may have gone through hell to get here, but I'm in heaven now! Gotta go!

I can almost see your expression through this experience! I'm so sorry that you had to go through that Nick. But, just think, you are getting a real first-hand look at how things are there!! :)
