what were we when we walked in the grand bazaar? and then, what were we when we talked with the little boy at the restaurant? and then, what were we when we stole that guy’s seat on the overnight bus to olympos?

We were star-gazin’, tequila-shootin’, ukulele-strummin’, never-wanna-go-home-let’s-just-keep-goin’ vagabonds. Or something like that.
