Farkel Time

I didn't grow up in 1 town, attend schools with the same group of friends, continue to work in the same town or even part of the country.  So, to be fortunate enough to enjoy friendships that have lasted over 30 years is special.

A weekend together with the 'Farkels' puts us in a time warp where no time has passed, except that we got wiser and more particular about our bed pillows.


In between talking, laughing, eating (thanks to our personal chef Mark), showing pictures and more talking, we road tripped to Tarpon Springs, the nearby Greek town to learn all the details of sponge
fishing (which seemed to start with 2 Greek men in a boat for long periods of time), and to go on a sunset boat trip to Anclote Key.


We ate great Greek food throughout the day partially to get into air conditioned buildings but also to try out various Greek dishes. Between olive oil, lamb, hummus, gyros, stuffed peppers and flaming cheese we were able to taste a few things!

As you can see, the  sunset was stunning.  It needed to be because it was so HOT!
