The Way of the Ancients
Saturday, August 29th, 2009… the ancient Greeks that is.
I am in lovely Loutraki now for the Greek Summer Campaign event. We are having lots of fun and I wanted to share with you from this last trip of the year.
How do the Greeks run a tournament?
Easy:
You sleep in, then have a nice breakfast on the hotel terrace looking out on the beautiful bay.
After that you decide to go to the beach, some guys went swimming (me included), then rejoined the others in the coffeehouse (looking out over the beautiful bay and the beach).
Time to go to the tournament, you think? No, lunch is first, loads of it, all shared on a table (the way only the Greek do it). Did you say Ouzo? No, of course there was nothing of that. I still feel dizzy from not having any.
So now we are back at the hotel, trying to get the tournament software to run and we are about to start soon. My, it’s way to hot, really. It’s 5 p.m. btw ;-). If you ever entertained a thought (the European warlord players that is) to come to Greece - next time Manolis organizes something you really should! We are having a blast!
