UEFA 2008

The UEFA 2008 soccer tournament is in full swing. It explainly in part why there aren't as many visitors here right now as in the past few years. Jim studies the sports pages and watches the key games. He chats to tavernkeepers about points and brackets, which teams play rough, and which goalkeepers are playing well. Last night, Turkey mounted an impressive comeback against Czechoslovakia and scored 3 goals in the last 20 minutes.

The plan as it stands now is to take a seaplane to Rhodes, then a ferry to the tiny island of Kastelorizo (where the movie Mediterraneo was filmed), another ferry to Kas in Turkey, then either overland or by sea to Antalya.
