Tylerostanes

We entertained ourselves in Delphi by hitting virtually every souvenir stand in town but not buying anything on the first pass through. We shopped and compared, then went back and bargained. Mike Karchner joined our Gang of Five when we entered a shop that not only sold the usual array of statues, music DVDs and jewelry but also featured these 200 Euro reproductions of Ancient Greek helmets. Tyler and I were suitably impressed but the price scared us off. That and the thought of toting one of these monsters through airport security convinced us to look on E-Bay someday when we regained our senses. Not so with Mike. He decided he had to have one. As adults and parents we kind of felt a responsibility to talk him down. We tried but I know I was unconvincing mainly because I was jealous. Mike decided to talk things over with his mom first before undertaking a debt that might take him all summer to repay.
