My favorite souvenir from Greece

Joey’s souvenir gold-tone laurel wreath from Greece.

My favorite souvenir from Greece was also the cheapest: the gold-tone laurel wreath pictured above. They sell these at every cheesy tourist souvenir shop in Greece for a handful of Euro, but I’m going to get dozens of evenings of fun out of it.

Case in point: I wore it to the recent Vinos de Dali party at the Salvador Dali Museum a couple of weeks back, got lots of compliments and started more than a handful of conversations:

Joey deVilla at the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, wearing a dress shirt and his gold-tone laurel wreath, with an accordion strapped on his back.I think that Apollo, patron god of musical performance, would have approved.
