Subject: RE: BS: Kalymnos 2001
We've provisionally booked for the same two weeks: end of June/early July for 2002. Our last night was marred by police arriving to serve George with a summons for playing music after midnight (local rule, never knowingly enforced before). It was actually one of our earlier finishes. Live music is OK but we were (sort of ) Greek dancing to recorded music by that stage. The locals among us said the other taverna owners in the village must have phoned the fuzz when they closed, jealous that everyone always ends up at the Artistico for the music at the end of the evening. Herself believes it was my a capella rendition of Blue Suede Shoes that was the last straw. Well it got some of the locals doing R&R! After that everyone decided to dance (to stop me singing, no doubt). The cops privately told George to shop the other tavernas if he caught them breaking any of the rules! Ironic, as they are all related in some way, cousins etc. ...and the great sunbed war still rumbles on from last year, but nothing else has changed, the road still stops just beyond the village, the "goatel" is still unfinished and providing shade for the goats and the only big news is that "our" Irene now has a pig as well as ducks and geese. But I said I wouldn't bore you... RtS (off to Tilos in Sept for a quieter time no doubt)
