Al Fresco

 

Finally it was warm enough to sit outside and eat. There was a bit of a breeze too. The sort of weather I wish we had all year long.  Just like a Norwegian summer day said our lunch guests.  That's why they were in short sleeves and talking about swimming, in April 

Mind you Birgit did say it was the sort of crazy thing she did as a tourist but not the sort of thing she ever contemplated as a resident.

Birgit, Jan and I go back 40 years, to the golden years of Poros, when the island was a bustling hub of foreign tourism. 

'Those were the days...' 

Everyone speaks Greek so K enjoyed the conversation

He did all the cooking of our traditional meal. Lamb and lemon potatoes, Greek salad with feta and tzatziki. Wine from a neighbour served in traditional little wine glasses

And bread. It's not a traditional Greek meal without chunks of bread

 Birgit, her son Marius, and me

She was a long time Poros resident, bringing up a cross cultural family like me.  Poros is always in her heart 

The beautiful flower they brought me.  The flowers open in the sun and the display is glorious
