Observed from a local point of view, the life style I have had since I came to this island yesterday probably looks kind of weird...or extremely boring...
All I do is going for a swim from the beaches close to the village, read in a café or in the beautiful plateia there is in the heart of the Fourni and sleep endlessly. Today I just swam tweice and slept most of the day...I guess I did not feel tired in the first days because of the aufregung of having come to Greece...since yesterday night I probably slept 13 hours in three different shots...unbelievable...but the being tired came out and I am delighted it finally did...this is what I neede to get rid of...
I am sitting on a bench at the sea side and look at the end of this beautiful sunset...there is already nobody in here...it is so quiet and I feel tired anyway, even if I did nothing...this next decision of coming here did not emprove my level of "normality" from the point of view of the local community I guess...
I probably said ten words in the whole day (a coffee, please, a coke, please thank you twice and formal hi in greek a couple of times)...I do not find it strange, I have to say...
Locals are not welcoming lonely planet tourists, I guess...at least if it is just one person...kind of stupid of them but I expected that...
All the colours from blue to blue are into this stripe of light I see in between sea and sky, I guess a star is coming out soon...Greece here is easy, does not ask you to be anything special...erases a lot of the features you bring along with yourelf fom your place...there is no big expectations about the way you look, the swimsuit you have or the shoes you dress....there is not even a club to go to, zum Glueck!
The most obvious thing people tell you when you explain you go for vacation by yourself is that you actually will not be able to share with somebody the amazing moments there will be...but so far I do not consider it a problem...I am definitely a solitary man, this vacation so far shows it is not so bad...anyway I just took a picture of this harbour and I think I am going to post it along this text in the blog...
The funniest thing that happened so far is that on the boat to here, sitting three seats on my left, there were two Stammgäste of the Goldener Hahn...we do not need even two grades of separation in Greece!
The Felice Brothers had released a first album that was just fine...now with the second (but I read that it should be the first American release...did not get it) they are turning into a really cool band: a couple of tracks I listened to today have a super cool groovy beat and smart guitars, and his voice is remarkable...textwise I cannot say...I think they talk about women all the time..not such big news...
This Fleet Foxes band has released a very interesting album, which, as you should know if you read this blog, is named after the band, but there is one single, not in the album (on the torrent it is actually named "Mikonos") that is pure poetry...when I went to Mitte with the bike on monday night, I listened to it over and over again, way and bak non stop, until you get the feeling that the next song of the tracklist should be the song itself!...the first two minutes of this track are so beautiful...
Comparing this vacation with a vacation to New York makes no sense...that is the reason why I should stop making comparison in the first place...easier to say than to do, since I think about what time should be there now every couple of hour...how long is it going to last this not being able to state once for all: "Whatever!"?
We are on the edge of the 10 months...I do care about time when it does not give you the feeling to work on the right memories in a proper way...it has been too much time, damned...way too much...
The sunlight is totally gone and it is too difficult to type properly...enough for today then...
