We are in Greece!

So many years dreaming about coming here and here we are!   It is beautiful, month of June and the weather is hot and humid but no abominable.  There are mosquitoes and flies,  comes with the weather.

The Greeks surpass themselves with their hospitality.  We are in the tiny village of Menini and we stopped at various restaurants to have a drink or a bite to eat.  Every single person offered us something for free

a dessert
a free snack
and lastly a free tsasouki (traditional booze drunk in a tiny shotglass with some ice).

I believe YAMMAS means  cheers, so yammas to all of you!   Our first minutes in Greece.



This gyros melted in my mouth, so good!




All hotels have a restaurant attached.  Not all restaurants have a hotel attached,  These are all family run and Les is under the impression that this once has been here since 1925.   The front is so pretty and their food is excellent, the rooms slighly outdated but it is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BEACH!


BTW  the beaches here are rocky too.  How come I never knew this?




I ran around to do some exploring and you know the spiel by now,right?  Les sits down with a beer and I run around and then we meet up at his table.  It works so well!




I love that we are here and tomorrow we head to Athens to get in the culture and art and architecture.  Will someone pinch me????!!!!  Is this real????!!!!
