Today was Day Two of the Pokemon event.
Woke up with a gouty toe, but since we weren’t planning on walking much, I figured we’d be fine, I’d just stop at the pharmacy and grab some naproxen there (since we’d left our bottle back at the cottage). Unfortunately, all the pharmacies were closed, and there’s no naproxen to be found in grocery stores or gas stations here. So we resolved to take it slow.
The coffee shop didn’t open until nine this morning, though, and we wanted to err on the side of ‘too early’ this time, so we grabbed some pastries from a bakery on Monastiraki Square. We also grabbed some snacks and sodas to stave off any hungers during the event.
We were on the first bus going around, and again met another player who saw us playing and befriended us, this time an American woman who lived in Germany but was heading to the beaches here in Greece for the weekend.
Once we finally got off the bus and finished playing, we again were starving, so we grabbed up a selection of takeaway food from the little outdoor food court we found in the first trip — some Asian noodles and rice, and some pastitsio pasta in case we wanted a late night snack — and then made an early night of it to put our feet up and watch a little TV.
Fun event, and the city is a nice place to play. We agreed that, wherever the big summer event was going to occur, we’d make the trip. (Last year it was in NYC so that was easy, but it’s been in Chicago and Seattle previously, so I guess we’ll see where we head this year!)
