A Special Meal

This is our last day in Greece. After 3 weeks of travel through the Peloponnesse, Crete, Santorini and the Southern Islands, we have come at last to Athens, capital of this troubled modern state, original home to the ideals of the "demos", the common people (who today tried to march on the Greek Parliament to voice their protest at the presence of the German Finance minister and were thwarted in the attempt). In our time here, we have come to love the land, the sea, the people and the food(!), so what better way to mark this end than with a special meal at the foot of a sacred site. Our gratitude goes out to the people of the community at Sylvan United, whose generosity provided us with the means to enjoy this fine dinner. But for now, farewell to Hellas. We shall return!
