holiday in Greece

Finally on holiday. Bloody weather is great too. I sit writing this facimg =
a gorgeous blue sea with snow capped peaks facing me across the straits. =
Very relaxing. I have almost forgotten what i do for a living. Getting used =
to the m600i’s leyboard too. Well almost.

athens

athens is a real mix of a city. In places one of the ugliest dirtiest =
cities i have been to. But with places of great beauty + of course =
antiquity. It is quite impressive to see the buildings of the Acropolis. =
And i have to admit i felt ashamed to be reminded of Lord Elgin’s robberies =
of years ago. I did briefly browse the shops. But the tat did not =
impress.
It is a very lively place. The streets were crowfed with revellers + this =
was tuesday!

piroshki

piroshki

I ate some of these from a Russian Bakery in Richmond, San Francisco last week. Bloody yummy, although these were deep fried and were like the quintessential fried East Coast (UK) dougnuts, except filled with mince meat and egg!! 🙂

I may have to give this recipe a go!

security

Wow. Everybody got a full pat down at the airport. Although I suppose it’s not exactly surprising given the current situation! Oh well, onwards, upwards and beach!!! Wahey!
