Lazy day in Chora


After hanging the exhibition this morning we followed the familiar pathways of Chora. Along the route we visited Angie in her shop and heard about the loss of her beloved dog last winter. She adopted a rescue dog named Sarah who continues the tradition of daily walks to the Cafe and positions herself on Angie's feet while she is creating beautiful pieces of jewelry.


Further along we spotted this recycled fish hanging from a crab shell


At the end of our rambling we rested at Parvas for a lunch of fava and horiatiki (Greek salad) with glasses of Amorgian wine. Inside the Cafe several older men were engaged in a heated debate. Outside we wrote "upside down" poetry on the table cloth while enjoying our meal.


This evening we were invited to a small party that was hosted by a Cypriot guest on the island. The setting was in a Hotel garden and the delicious food was catered by a nearby taverna. Our conversation group included visitors from Norway, Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and a few Greeks! Plans were made for future meals, beach trips, shopping and the planting of Oak acorns on the island. Life is good and interesting!!
