Degraves is a short, narrow laneway running from the Flinders Street Station to the heart of the CBD (Central Business District). A great place to grab a coffee or a bite to eat, peruse the clothing and jewelry shops, and let the street musicians entertain.

Cafe Des Amis Zydeco Breakfast

In a little town called Breaux Bridge smack in the middle of Cajun country there is a little cafe, the Cafe Des Amis. The building is circa 1890, originally a general merchandise store it later became a woman’s apparel shop and then an art studio. Eventually a coffee shop was added with the studio and Cafe Des Amis was born. Though the cafe is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday it is Saturday morning from 8:30-11:30 am that really draw the crowds. I give you, Zydeco Breakfast

Today’s Where am I? really won’t be posted so much as a question as it is just an update. I’m spending the day hanging out around LAX waiting for my 9:15 pm flight to Athens, Greece. I’ve got a friend coming to take me out so I’m not sitting in the airport all day long - what a gal! The trans-Atlantic flight is just the tip of the iceberg as far as travel to my actual destination. I will arrive in Athens at 11 pm Wednesday, August 5th. Too late to do much else, I will check into the Sofitel, an on site airport hotel just outside the baggage claim doors. Thursday, August 6th after a (hopefully) good night sleep, I will find the X93 bus from the airport to the bus station in downtown Athens. It’s been two years since I have been to Athens, and even though I am not staying, I’m looking forward to being back in the city. The bus I am looking for leaves Athens at 12:30pm, and I have been advised that since I can not book tickets in advance, I should arrive early to make sure I get a seat - if I miss the 12:30 there is 4:45pm bus. Once on the bus, I will begin my four hour journey to Kyllini, Greece a port town in the Peloponnese, our base for the next 3 weeks.

At first I was doing everything I could to find a one way car rental from Athens to Patras, but now that I have settled on the idea of taking the bus, I’m excited to get going on this adventure. Next post will be from the Vigla hotel…

I just heard what could have been gunfire - and yet, I still went out to look. Forgot about the weddings here at the hotel today…
