What it’s really like living in Greece (not just the dream)

Life in Greece

The dream version of life in Greece

There are days in Greece that look like a magazine cover.

The sea shines like it’s just been polished.

And by 11:03 a.m., we already feel like minor characters in a Greek tragedy.

Jabba:
Everyone wants to live in Greece!

Jojo:
Everyone sees the colour.
Not the heat.

Jabba:
That little boat at sunrise…
I felt like a new chapter was beginning.
A whole new me!

Jojo:
Same you.
More toasted.

Jabba:
The wind in my hair

Jojo:
You don’t have hair.
You mean, your face.

Jabba:
And looking down at that beach from up there…
It looked like eternal happiness!

The reality of living in Greece

Jojo:
Eternal happiness is usually when we go downhill.
Not uphill.
Gasping for air.

Jabba:
It was awesome!

Jojo:
It was a workout.

Jabba:
The swing at the beach bar was so peaceful…
Slow life… salty breeze…

Jojo:
You fell asleep mid-breeze.

Jabba:
I was meditating.

Jojo:
You passed out.

Jabba:
At the port I only sat down for a second…

Jojo:
You collapsed.

Jabba:
My body said, “Enough.”

Jojo:
Your body was yelling.

Why slow life in Greece is not always easy

Jabba:
Then Bro went into the water.
Looked back at us.

Jojo:
And then he said, “Come on, swim!”

Jabba:
So we had no choice!

Jojo:
Family pressure.

Jabba:
I dived in like a brave sea creature!

Jojo:
More like a potato.

Jabba:
A heroic potato.

Jabba:
The sunset was magical…
Gold. Pink. Dramatic.

Jojo:
And you, breathing like an accordion.

Jabba:
I got emotional.

Jojo:
Your battery was at 1%.

Jabba:
People say, “living the dream…”

Jojo:
The sleeping part is important.

Jabba:
We are living spectacularly!

Jojo:
We are napping spectacularly.

Jabba:
Same tomorrow?

Jojo:
Of course.

Jabba:
Because everyone wants this life.

Jojo:
Yes.
And nobody talks about naps.
