| Another Greek Grindr hottie |
1. I was overwhelmed by the beauty and structural engineering and innovation which was required to build the Parthenon. Now, we're in Delphi in a spectacular mountainous region north of Athens. The ancient ruins are just awe-inspring!

2. We're touring alongside a high school group from Italy, filled with gorgeous, sexy Italian boys and their even hotter and stylish male teachers. Woot! Both of our groups are going to an alcohol-free dance club tonight which should provide much eye candy.
3. The vast majority of Greek men I've seen, rural or urban, are very slim and just inspirational to me! It strengthens my resolve not to fall into the North American obesity trap.
4. I'm crazed with lust most of the time.... Greek men of all ages are as sexy as hell. My horniness problem also stems from the fact that I'm not getting any. :-(
5. Did the ancient Greeks have as bad a case of cock-worship as it seems? I couldn't resist buying an erotic tourist calendar with big, erect cocks prominently featured.
6. I loved the beefy thighs in white tights on the ceremonial guards, but must their outfits be so silly? Too bad the tunics weren't shorter, to better show off their bulges and asses.
7. I regretted logging onto Grindr while in Athens. I received many messages from sweet, sexy and gorgeous men (20 to 30) when I had no chance to meet up with them. They're part of the Greek "Lost Generation", facing 60% unemployment and most likely living with family and unable to host.
They were so polite, sincere and horny as hell and each send me repeated messages to hook up but in the end, I turned them all down. I hope they didn't think I was a cock tease!
Looks like you're having a great time! Keep one eye on the kids, and the other eye on the hotties. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robert! As you know, chaperoning students (especially in a foreign country) can be a challenge, some more than others.
DeleteAnd we've had numerous challenges
which I won't be blogging about.
We have a fantastic, cohesive group of teachers which makes a huge difference.
Enjoy your updates from your trip. It sounds like you're about to explode! ;-b
ReplyDeleteI am..... surrounded by so much hotness with no outlet makes it very ... er ... hard.
DeleteYour pics of Athens reminded me of an incident I had all but forgotten. We had just visited the Parthenon and were in a souvenir shop. I was buying a shirt and something else. The clerk gave me a bottle of water and deck of cards gratis. When I looked at the cards, they were of Greek Porn pics from the pottery. I was way too dumb to figure out he might have been hitting on me. Sigh
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that he was hitting on you! Your gayness must have been obvious to him: it takes one to know one, I always say.
DeletePerhaps I missed it, but how do you know your roomie from school is gay?
ReplyDeleteI just know: it takes one to know one! He reminds me exactly of how I was at that age. All it takes is to observe his interactions with the male students at school ( as opposed to the female ones) to be sure that he is attracted to men.
DeleteOther teachers in the school have the same suspicions, based on observations of his behaviour on out-of-town trips with the football team etc. (he's a football coach)
I thought Greece was politically unstable for the last few years due to their financial crisis. So kind of surprised that your school chose that country as a place to take a group of kids.
ReplyDeleteIf your roommate is gay, can't you work out an arrangement where you get private use of the room to entertain for like an hour? Ribbon tied to the door knob?
Greece is still having economic difficulties but that doesn't affect the safely of anyone living there. The crime rate is lower there than anywhere in Europe; there is much less violent crime per capita in Athens than in my home town.
DeleteThere are regular political protests but these are scheduled events and are surrounded by vast numbers of police. I was near the start of one such protest on Monday in Athens and was quickly shooed away by the police.
As to the "ribbon on the door" idea, although we are in a foreign country, we are still governed by the same workplace rules of appropriate behaviour expected by our employer and our professional teacher's organization in our province.
DeleteHooking up while on a trip is too risky because I was "on the job" at all times. As well, if caught, it would be hugely embarrassing and I'd never be allowed to go on any trip, ever again.
I have done a lot of traveling north of the equator; sadly none on the south side as I always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand. But hands down, of all the sites I've visited, the Parthenon was the very best! Walking there on the Acropolis, I felt that the swoop of history now included even me!
ReplyDeleteYes, the Parthenon was spectacular. But I bet that you would like Ephesus even better, in Turkey. It was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, a city of 250,000 made entirely of marble.
DeleteI thoroughly enjoy your blog. I came out at 50 after a 29year marriage and two grown kids. I wish sometimes that I could have a do over for the first 10 years I was out. Your realization that an LTR isn't something you need right now, is a good one. I tried to get into relationships too quickly. I felt if I slept with someone that meant it was love. Hang in there. You will know when you're ready. Marty
ReplyDeleteThanks for the complement reading my blog and for the comment about "have a do over for the first 10 years I was out". Most interesting! Could you provide more detail as to "why?"
DeleteI am confident that I am not ready for an LTR or even dating and have no idea when I will be.
