... how crazy is this?
... You know that ship that sunk off the coast of Greece?
... My dad was on it!
... He's fine.
... He and his wife have their passports, he has his wallet and his camera -- with good pictures of the sinking I'm told and that's it.
They were unable to purchase more clothes cuz they're in Rome and it's Easter. So they're called "the stinky survivors."
While on the ship that picked them up, there as an announcement from the Greek government assuring any and all help needed and telling any Greek citizens who to contact if they had any questions or conderns. Then there was a similar announcement from the Spanish ambassador. Then silence. Nothing from the United States embassy. My uncle Don, who was relating the story to me, said that swift boat asshole they just confirmed as an ambassador must have been sent to Greece.

WHAT?????!!! I heard about that ship!!!! That's INSANE!!!
Well, I am glad they are OK---but man, that's a crappy vacation. I certainly hope they are refunded, at least. And that ambassador aspect of the tale is just plain depressing.
