Greek Ferry Man

yes, this is a giant ferry...look at the size of the 18th wheeler and it was dwarfed inside the ferry

this is an interesting story. i call this the 'Terrorist Nun's Getaway Car'. 3 'women' in black robes and head gear covering all but their faces got on the ferry, each w/ a rolling duffle bag. 5 min. later, one of the women got off (w/out her bag) and headed toward this SUV. the closer she got, her paced picked up and so did her robe, revealing long pants and the stride resembled that of a man. so, i zoomed in and the person appeared to have a mustache and i thought it good to capture the license plate. being the diligent and cautious observer, i reported this to a shop keeper on board (yes, this was a big boat and had shops and restaurants) who calmed my fears by telling me that "Even if it's a bomb, this is a big boat and it would just make a big boom but wouldn't sink the ship." feeling completely at ease by now, she said i should probably still report it to the first mate who had all the bars on his shoulder and was down directing the passengers boarding the boat. i did, and the man was very grateful i had brought this to his attention. he did, however, reassure me that we were in no danger as those women were Greek Orthodox Nuns.
