No selfies in this post. But here’s Dave at a snack truck on the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a pizza lunch on Sunday, we attempted to drive out to see a shipwreck<\/a> just offshore along a beach south of Thessaloniki. The beach was called Potamos Epanomis Beach or the Epanomis Sand Dunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We never made it to the shipwreck. We failed to consider that in Greece, on Sundays, in the summer, ALL of Eastern Europe goes to the beach and the final two kilometers of the drive would be navigating makeshift parking lots in the soft sand. It was pretty terrible. But we got to play more of the License Plate Game.<\/p>\n

Instead we walked around the eastern part of the beach some and made our way back to town. We then bid farewell to Tim and Maddie. We had a very very early flight out of Thessaloniki the next morning. Tim will be home in just a month<\/p>\n

This was a somewhat tame parking area, the further down we went, the more precarious the road became, as cars squeezed the lane skinnier and skinnier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
