That is Just A Sign

OK, so everything is not what it seems here in Greece. Yes, it's all Greek (to me). But there's something else, sometimes not too deep below the surface, that defies American logic.

For example, on our little voyage on the ferry this past week, John went to the dining room doors at 7am because the sign said "Breakfast, 7am-9am". When the doors weren't open by 7:15am, he asked one of the official crew why there was no breakfast. His reply: "That is just a sign."

So, in like manner, I give you...
