The kids partake of some adult refreshment

Jimbo and I spent a little too much time quaffing brews because we showed-up late for dinner. We ate in a medium-sized place on the main street where we were served pork over rice along with Tzatziki and hummus. Prior to the main course we had salad with delicious Feta over it. Jim was in rare form this evening. when he heard that some of the adults in our group weren't crazy about the house wine that they ordered with dinner, Jim called the owner over. Speaking entirely in Greek he told him that nobody liked the house wine. Was there anything better? The owner poured three glasses of the house wine and gave one to Jim and one to me then tried the third glass. He made a sour face and then told the waiter to bring three more glasses of something else. We all enjoyed that much more. The owner smiled when we said we like it then we thanked him and walked out. Gail, Grandma, Gen, Tyler and I then walked around in the suddenly lively downtown. There were a couple of people with BBQ grills selling roasted corn on the cob, husk and all. Many people were dressed-up and headed for restaurants and tavernas. We walked around awhile looking for a good place where we and a few others in our group could all sit together. We checked five or six places that had no outdoor seating available. We eventually did find a spot on the main shopping street. Gail surprised me and ordered beers while Gen and Tyler went for the Greek version of cocktails.

But there was plenty of hot water in the shower and nice clean towels when I ... read more
