We were wondering if any one asked why we picked the name, "When In Rome." The idea came to us last summer when we were working on another private yacht. For us it was a summer of many firsts. Like my first experience with Nutella. Once I learned a chocolate topping on toast was acceptable for breakfast, I was hooked. Or our first experience with true Italian pizza while in Naples. Needless to say our crew found it interesting and sometimes comical about how many things we have yet to experience. So, last summer when we had a few days off in Naples, we were trying to figure out what we should do and I said, "When In Rome." The next day we took a train to Rome and that saying pretty much summed up our summer. We find ourselves repeating that saying more and more as new first experiences come up. We love diving into a new culture or, "...do as the Romans do." It's the best way to explore different cultures. Although we are not in Rome or even Italy the saying has stuck with us.
We're still cruising the Greek islands. There are over 6,000 Greek islands and if we saw a new one every day we would be sailing for 16.5 years but only 227 of them are inhabited. We will be back in Pireaus (near Athens) in a little over a week.
