Athens Day 1 night

We rested for a while before we got ready for our dinner.

That's the hotel for our stay.

at the lobby

We walked to a nearby restaurant for our dinner.

bread and cucumber yogurt

salad with cheese and olive oil

fried aubergine with olive oil

french fries

the main dish, kebab

lastly yogurt with honey

We walked back feeling chilled and I thought we saw
the Acropolis of Athens. 

The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world.

    I think I will like the food there because I like to eat yogurt, cheese, and olive oil. How did you like the food?

    Was the dinner provided as part of the tour or were you free to order your own food?

    The Acropolis of Athens looks grand even from afar and at night too! So nice that the hotel is within walking distance to attractions.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
