Nice, right? If you're still trying to figure it out, here are some better clues.

I know, I know. It's kind of mean to even post these pictures. If it makes you feel any better, we're dragging an extremely reluctant twelve year old kid around with us, and he has already made us take him to McDonalds twice. IN GREECE. It's heresy. Besides being humiliating. We spent two days tempting him with some of the best food in the world and then finally gave in and told him that McDonalds does in fact have an outpost here. Thus ending the hunger strike. I watched him wolf down two cheeseburgers in less than two minutes and cried a little inside for all the souvlaki he's missing. But life goes on.
Internet is both sporadic and slow, so this will probably be it until I get back. But I realized I didn't tell you where I was going and that wasn't very nice of me. I'll have plenty of photos when I get back and I promise they won't all be of marble columns. Just most of them.

OMG. Seething with jealousy! Have so much fun. Can you bring me back the food that the ornery 12 year old doesn't eat? I'll take it!
ReplyDeletelucky! have a blast on vacation & soak it all in :]]
ReplyDeleteI second Amy...souvlaki, grilled sardines, phyllo piled high and fresh lemon squeezed over everything.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Poros, Greece! Have so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Greece! Have a great time. Perhaps he'll tire of burgers?
ReplyDeleteI have 2 friends in Greece right now and they are LOVING it! So jealous.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, at the age of thirteen I, too, dragged my parents to McDonald's in both Rome and Paris, but did grew out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreece! How fabulous! (Even with a reluctant 12-year-old.) If he doesn't come around to the deliciousness and get over his reluctance while on the trip, give him 10 years and I bet he'll be kicking himself for not taking advantage & enjoying while he was there. (I know because I've been that 12-year-old kid, minus the wanting McDonalds. Eww.)
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing time!
oooh have a fantastic time friend!
ReplyDeleteand try to block the trip to McDonalds out of your mind stat ;-)

I'm so jealous!!! My brothers and I went to Greece for three weeks in 2002. I really want to go back. And we did go to a McDonalds ONCE. We were starving and that was the closest place. We got a McGreek, which was really a McGyro...it was so yummy.
ReplyDeleteI just came back from Greece. It was awesome as always. Have fun & enjoy! Maybe you can go to Goody's next time, if there's one around, it is FastFood too, but at least greek!

Enjoy your trip! Marble photographs well (especially when it's special ancient GREEK marble!!!)...so I'm sure nobody will protest your vacation snapshots.
ReplyDeleteEat ridiculous amounts of souvlaki yourself, and tell us all about it soon. :) I want to live vicariously!
how fun! enjoy it. i've been off-line for two weeks and it's great catching up on your blog.
ReplyDeleteoh wow - enjoy your stay!
ReplyDeleteSo fun - enjoy! I can't wait to see more pics!
ReplyDeleteI love and miss Greece! I can't wait to see your photos.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that the thing I'm most jealous about is the cherry juice? I lived off it when I was in Corfu for a week. Yum!
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation! I've always wanted to visit Greece so I'm insanely envious. Hope it's a wonderful as I imagine!
ReplyDeleteLovely B.
Greece, how lovely!
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who traveled to China frequently for work...and said that his colleagues there would always try to take him to Pizza Hut or McDonalds, as "nice" places to eat. They're everywhere!
Have you had Jax donuts yet?
ReplyDeleteLove, Mom
JEAAAALLOUSSSSS !!! Have an amazing time!!
ReplyDeletehave fun...take that 12 year old to the pita pan chain instead...for the yummy fries and dipping sauce.
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I am more than a bit jealous, but can' deny that you deserve this lovely break. I'm sorry that your son is missing out on the amazing food, but maybe he'll give some of it a try before you leave. In the meantime, you enjoy all the sun, amazing food, and wonderful surroundings!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I am sooooooooooooo incredibly jealous right now . . . I am DYING to go to Greece. Can't wait to see more pictures - columns or not!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'll take marble columns. Anything you can't get in the US makes me all giddy for traveling.
ReplyDeleteI need to be in Greece at this very moment...

the only columns I saw today were labeled A through M in Microsoft Excel. And it wasn't even the more visually appealing mac version. So, you know, bring them on.

ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! I just discovered your blog and love it. I am huge Heath ceramics fan, too. =)
