Chairs and coffee


Greek chairs require tenacity and the ability to suspend any hope of comfort.
Surprisingly, buttocks gradually become adjusted to the narrow woven seats!


Once you have adjusted to the chairs, 
a coffee break becomes an opportunity to linger,
to watch the world pass by, to share conversation.


It is still unusual to find tables without ashtrays.


Mountain Tea brewed in a pot is John's favourite.


The Symposium is our breakfast place of choice on the island of Paros.
Music drifts from inside, cats doze on chairs, children play in the narrow streets.


Happiness shapes our morning coffees!


Monica always made sure that a piece of cake was served with morning coffee
and the tavli(backgammon)game was ready for us when we arrived.
