Final family gathering

The island tour came to an end for Dad, Jane, Flo and John on Monday morning when they flew to Athens from Rhodes. With a day to spend in Athens and after doing a lot of whisking around on the islands, we decided that we would all meet in Plaka for dinner. Akis and I headed in on the train and met them at one of the souvlaki places we often went to. Akis’ parents then joined us so that they could all get together one last time before the Canadian contingent flew out. When Frosso and Mike arrived, they gave us crap for not going to have dinner with them ~ apparently there was Moussaka and Stuffed Vegetables. I think they immediately thought of the HUGE spread we had the other day for lunch and the family could only imagine what Frosso had cooked this time! However Flo did say that her Tzaisiki was the best she had while in Greece.

We then moved on for Coffees. I felt a bit bad for Akis’ Dad who doesn’t speak English. Here he was in Plaka ~ Old Athens ~ and everyone around him was speaking English. As we headed to the Coffee Shop, Mike was speaking to Dad in Greek saying that they had a lot of good food to eat, and I forgot what it is like to not understand anything in Greek. So I translated what I could understand, and then when we got to the tough stuff, we just smiled and nodded.





It was nice that they could all see each other again. Definitely a good time.
