Le Chapeau


A group of French tourists were riding that silly little red train in Athens, and as they went by me and my friend Meredith on our way to the Ancient Agora, a woman called out happily, "Ooh la la, le chapeau!" She liked my hat. Nice to hear French in Greece.  Like being two of my favorite places at once. Nice to have a pretty hat.

    Always thumbs up for experiencing two loves at the same time. And for pretty hats.
