Nafplio

 We were sad to leave Nafplio this morning which is a testament to the town. It's a mix of sleepy daytime tourists and bustling evening paseo. It's cruise ship and tour buses leaving only to be replaced by luxury yacht and cars from neighboring towns. It's neo-classical square topped by maze like ottoman buildings. It's beach side resort overlooked by a Venetian fortress. It's teens and tweens looping the port side promenade in awkward packs while their little brothers and sisters play soccer and chase in the main square, their parents lounging at outdoor tables catching up with family and friends. It's Saturday night clubbing until the pale dawn. It's a symphony of birds and church bells in the morning punctuated by a singular cat screech. It's a wonderful picture of life at play.
