Sunny Sunday

The sun was shining, it was Sunday. So we went down to the harbour and enjoyed the day's warmth and peace.

The mornings have been so damp you'd think it had rained overnight. In the sun it's almost too hot but in the shade it's damp and chilly.

We chose a square where the sun had dried the paving stones, and sat half in the sun and half in the shade.

First of all coffee and then a glass of wine.

This is one of Ks watering holes. K and his two friends asked for a 'koupa' of white wine . It comes in a huge glass, larger than the water glass.

Koupa is loosely translated as mug.  A generous mug.

I asked for a glass of rosé. Mine was served in a nice long stem glass.

Here is the first meze.

Tomato and cucumber, a piece of fried cheese and a couple of slices of sausage on bread 

Some of our company were hungry. Along came meatballs, fried pork pieces and boiled potatoes tossed in olive oil and fresh onion. 

K had good wine, good company and good weather.

A happy man

There were large 'puddles' all along the waterfront. The sea level has risen and the sea is gushing up over the road

Today winds from the north have blown away the mist and damp. Temperatures have dropped from 20oC to 14o. Colder but healthier. 

Cold for us. Probably not for you. Greeks are wrapped up in jackets. The scattering of tourists stick

 out in short sleeves and sandals
