Greece pictures are up!! I have been starting to add comments, but they aren't done yet. I'll get to that this weekend.
You may note that one of the pictures is of Chris next to "Borf" graffitied on a cement planter. We just thought it was funny and took a picture. It turns out that there's an interesting story behind how it got there. Borf was a term in the 80's for getting kicked out of computer program suddenly. Recently an 18-year-old in DC took it as his word of rebellion and began "borfing" Washington. Borf was written in clever and not-so-clever ways all over the city. The Washington Post wrote a story on the borf phenomenon. Then it stopped for a couple months and when it started back up again, the culprit was discovered. The saga came to an end with the arrest of the borf artist last July, I believe. So what does this have to do with Athens, Greece? Well, during the two month hiatus, the kid went backpacking in Europe. Athens was one of his stops, so naturally, he borfed there too. And Chris and I happened upon this international borf. An interesting story for the strange little piece of graffiti we found.
