Beautiful Pictures!
Hey Em, It was so fun to relive your visit through the pictures and your kind description of the events that took place. I like how you emphasized the mozz. and tomato salad- which I will now translate for other readers: the meal I made flopped. I bought the pork from the wrong store or something... and it stank. Being the best guest ever, you didn't even complain. What a dear. Thanks so much for visiting! We miss you and your smiling face and your use of words like "dodgy". Have a great time in Greece! Don't let the stress of travel ruin anything- you'll have a great time, I'm sure! Love ya!
