The Lost Boys
Welcome to our blog! We will be writing about our adventures throughout Europe over the next half year (or longer). In case you read our title and thought "Lost Boys, wtf?" The Lost Boys are Peter Pan's followers who do not want to grow up. In order to stop the process of growing up and avoid responsibilities the Lost Boys escaped to Never Never Land. In our case Europe is our Never Never Land, a place to escape from growing up, from getting jobs, from becoming real people and having a shit ton of fun along the way!

Mark is the bobble head of the infamous Mark Bradford, father of the Bradford family. The Bradford family took me in under their wing while I lived in Indiana and so I thought I would take a piece of the along with me on this trip.

So if you find yourself being a grown up with responsibilities and are bored at work or at home, your escape is only a click away!

Thanks for reading!

Social Comentary

Here are a just a few things you need to know about Greece and Greeks:
-A 1/2 mile is too long of a walk for them
-Most things are exaggerated
-Bad plumbing, hence throwing the tp in the trash
-Not a pedestrian friendly city, they do not stop
-They do not drink
-The guys love American girls, the girls ignore American guys
-Elevators = coffins
-They do not say sorry or excuse me here, trust me don't even bother
-They strike almost every day of the week
-Buildings can be taken over, still have no idea what this means, but it involves flying black flags on the building that has been taken... maybe by pirates?
-If you ask a question, the response will take at least 30 minutes
-Goodys fast food is not actually good
*If anyone else is reading our blog in Greece, let me know what I'm missing!!

Random Fact #6: Cheeseburgers were first served in 1934 at Kaolin's restaurant in Louisville, KY. But this was only after the Hamburger was invented in Seymour, WI.

Our internet has been down for over 24 hours, sorry about the late blog post! Just been resting and detoxing from this last weekend. It was fun. Making Greek coffee as we speak. Its different here than in the states. You boil a pot of water and dump the super fine coffee grounds into the water. As it starts to boil you take it off the burner. Pour cold water into the pot and let the coffee settle. It kinda looks like... poop to be totally honest with you. Its kinda Gritty but it does the trick!

  1. Drinking that is either an act of love or desperation, not sure which one!
