"the guy was really nebbish"
I can't believe Venus actually found a definition for a yiddish word, lol! The guy was A real nebbish would be more correct gramatically - and Venus' definition says it all!
What I meant by sweet and honest was that it is a delight to read your report about just enjoying the ESSENCE of this place - the food, the sea, the beach and yes, even the characters (gotta avoid this Winston) without the endless partying, drinking, careening on a moped and bringing home what my landlord calls "swinging dick". I'm enjoying your trip with you as opposed to shaking my head and hoping you don't die.
I'm of course referring to other trip reports I've read of late which read like bad romance novels or rip-offs of Hunter Thompson.
Whether you are sweet or not doesn't matter. (But you are honest!) You are having or had a sweet time.
Thank you so much for sharing it!
