Week 1

The moon and "first star I see tonight" as seen from the taverna at which we ate tonight.



Difficult to see, but while we were eating the clouds rolled in and thunder could be heard in the distance. Suddenly the rain poured down with everyone scurrying for cover. Our waiter knew it would rain ahead of time as he cleared all the tables prior to the deluge.





Getting into Greek time means market in AM, then a coffee, then lunch on our balcony which consists of fresh bread, ripe tomatoes, cukes, and Greek cheese with extra virgin olive oil for dipping. Then bathing suits and beach to take our daily dip in the sea. Back for a shower then down to our favourite bar for an ouzo prior to dinner.



Another evening we ate at Vassilis, a taverna which has been in operation since 1951 (that's not so old is it?) The waiter was the gandson of the original owner
the family tradition continuing.


Saw this fixer upper - good location - close to shopping, walking distance to the beach, thick walls, good to resist heat in summer and keep heat in in the winter ... what do you think, should we buy?

Well, I watch all the real estate shows. A couple just bought a fixer upper in Italy. I think it was the view of Mediterranean and the Olive Grove that sold them. MJT
