Cigarettes

The world over here needs to catch up...smoking is everywhere. It apparently okay to hold your ashes over the grill, in a clothes shop, restaurant, actually anywhere you want. At first we wouldn't eat if the "chef" was holding a cigarette while cooking. Then we realized, we wouldn't eat. While shopping in the grocery stores (8x10 room with various food items) you can smoke there as well. Nothing like buying a new top and it smells. Crazy. Maybe we are the only ones who find this odd.

A dinner tonight with the aunties of octopus as the main item...I am looking forward to it. They are so cute and funny even if I don't understand everything said. You can pick it out.

Must go, off to a ceramic shop on the other side of the island and hopefully they are open. We called and they said it depends on the weather...questioned if sunny open? couldn't give us an answer. The stuff looks fabulous. Things you actually would like at home, nothing with a decal!

Miss everyone!!!

You'll be speaking Greek soon! How fun. The smoking - worse than Paris? What about dogs in the restarants and shops? Is Greece pet-friendly? Where are you getting on the Internet? Different cafes? Auntie's house?

We go to eat with the aunties about everyother night. They produce the best food, but others are good too. Athens is very dog friendly and they dogs look very healthy. Lots of cats here...no control and a few look not too good. They certainl get enough food, at least from us.
