We have the ties!

 
 
Day 44 Thessaloniki, Greece
 
We made it back to Greece.  As we stopped in at our Couchsurfers house, we found out our 350 tie shipment would not be available until Monday.  With our backs against the wall, as we have been saying for a month now, Tanner and I planned out how we would go to businesses and try to make some sales as well as do some research.
 
Day 45 and 46 Thessaloniki, Greece 
 
We hit the streets and talked to businesses about our ties.  Which is pretty crazy considering if we made a sale we don't have any paperwork, contract, or anything in writing to actually sell these ties in bulk.  I guess we were just going to wing it.  This trip has been all about taking risks, so why not give it a shot.  We had no luck!  I guess skinny ties are in these days in Greece.  Super lame!
 
Day 47 Thessaloniki, Greece
 
Finally we have our ties!!!
 
 
 
 
Tanner and I get to fulfill our dream of selling ties on the streets in Europe.  We went to four different spots around Thessaloniki and we couldn't have had a worst first day.  No one came over and looked at the ties, I talked to two old men about politics,  a bird crapped on my shirt, and we made zero sales.
 
 
Day 48 Thessaloniki, Greece
 
After a team meeting, we decided maybe this city isn't our best option for sales.  The next plan is to head to Macedonia and Albania.  So hopefully we will have better luck.  Also, it's time to start hitting up some more countries!
