_e _uiero _ucho _i _sposa!!!

...it started out as a quite Sunday with a cup of coffee that was wandering from room to room...
...then the "wife" and I decided to go for lunch somewhere in the city...the weather was absolutely beautiful...almost like summer....the non existing pedicure did not allow us to wear our flip flops but short sleeved T's were in...
...we picked an old fashion taverna where the food was heavenly delish!
...gigantes me spanaki (beans with spinach), hortopita (green pie)...
...melintzanes me tiri (eggplants with cheese and tomato sauce)...
...kolokithakia gemista (stuffed squash), tzatziki....
...and for dessert they brought us apples with halva...and of course raki (Greek grapa)
...we took a walk around the neighborhood...here is a place where they serve the best desserts like ravani, baklava, brownies with ice cream, panna cotta and more more more...
(For the best Greek food recipes go to About.com-Greek food blog)
...the May wreaths were hung everywhere...it's a Greek tradition, we collect flowers on the first of May, make a wreath and hang it outside our door...
...this little gentleman became our friend...I still don't understand what he was selling! I guess his best smiles, because he was sweet and friendly...
...the Athenians had taken all the chairs in the cafes, enjoying their coffee and sweets, and of course the summery weather...
...we also visited a little shop that sold hand made soap imported from Barcelona...
...this sweet lady was celebrating her wedding anniversary and I caught her coming out of a restaurant...
...it was too nice to go home, so the "wife" and I sat at a little cafe at the platia (little square) near her house and enjoyed a cup of coffee...
...a new week is starting tomorrow...give and receive love....think of good things...say "thank you" to little nothings...
...all in good health...
