The Roundabout
We are on a holiday in Greece. Jim is at the wheel and I am navigating our return to Athens from Marathon. The roads are frantic and the drivers insane. We did not arrange for a GPS in the rental car, which was a mistake.
Suddenly we find ourselves at a roundabout. Jim asks tersely, “Which exit do I take?”
“Slow down so I can read the signs,” I bark back. “Is that upside-down Greek “y” an “L” in English?”
The meaning of the expression “It’s all Greek to me” makes sense now.
Six circumnavigations later, we’re on our way.
