The philosopher



Each morning, over a pot of mountain tea, Yiannis translates his version of the previous day's events, adding bits of philosophical insights. The top terrace of Jazzmin Cafe Bar was opened for the season yesterday so now we share our mornings upstairs, overlooking the hills, sea and islands beyond.

Last night Theo and Coralie  were busy in the kitchen preparing a risotto dinner for six of us. By the time the meal was ready, around 9:30pm, there were 14 of us gathered with plates of delicious rice, wild spinach , carrots and chunks of feta. A young Frenchman arrived with a bottle of French wine and a selection of tasty cheeses to share.

There is a lot of painting taking place...shop fronts, inside walls, tables and chairs. Weeding of the pathways and steps is an ongoing process. Before Easter wild herbs will be collected and scattered along the pathways in Chora. Walking on them will release the aromas of oregano, sage and mInt.
