Apropos of Numerian's post on Greece and our discussion on the value of work and differing cultural perceptions of what, exactly, work is, I offer you this photo:

The above man is no doubt working hard, but so is this guy. And what about these folks? And how about this lady? Or these ladies? All three of them run shops dedicated to the tourist trade. If I wanted something they would jump up and serve me, but right then they are playing. Is that work? Is it work when an American is sitting at her desk Facebooking until her boss runs by and she pretends to work?

Or how about this lady? It's seven in the morning in this photo. Is she working?

Work takes many forms and here at Toba no one is lazy, no matter the languid pace of life here. It's the same in Greece and pretty much every where else.

The last two days worth of photos begin here and are interspersed with my Dad's photos.

As usual the full set can be found here.

Enjoy your Friday and your weekend!
