How About Some Pastitsio?!

 After settling into our room, Lianne and I planned our next two days here on Santorini...
She made the phone calls... Everyone knows I detest making phone calls... And we had arranged for an adventure on Tuesday.  What is it?  You'll have to wait!

Anyway, we had to pick up our tickets so we cabbed to Fira, and hoped we would find the office, since the lady on the phone hadn't given really good directions.... May I add that there are no real STREET SIGNS.  It's more of 'after this building' or 'past this square somewhere' or 'in this so and so village' --- Good Luck!

Aye Dios Mio!

We told the cab driver to bring us to Fira's main square.  After walking a short distance, I spotted the office.  Thank God.


The lady was nice and we gots our tickets, man!

Ok, then hunger started setting in... We hadn't eaten since the our 'breakfast' on the ferry. I had noticed a restaurant on our way to the ticket office so I suggested that we check it out... Sure enough, it is our favourite restaurant now: Mama's Restaurant.

Now that we are familiar with traditional Greek dishes, Lianne and I are going all out when ordering dinner.  For Lianne: Greek salad and Mousaka.  For myself: Tzaziki and Pastitsio!!!
AHA! BUENO!!!!!
 We ordered wine too... white for Lianne and red for me. It either came as .25 L or .50 L and we both asked for a .25 L of both...  MMMMMMMMM!!!!!! That was good enough for about three glasses each.  I love Greece!

The server was super.  She was practicing her English with us, which was too too cute and all of a sudden, she starts trying to speak in French!

Dinner was fabulous!  In all I think we had a long day full of great little adventures that ended with a nice dinner on a wonderful island.

We cabbed back to the hotel and after small deliberations decided to watch.... wait for it:

Dirty Dancing.

Mmhmm!  Lianne had the movie on her computer so we totally watched Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey dance the night away. Ha, it sort of reminded me of my last night in Pylos... but in its smaller little Greek version --- teehee!

Good night my peoples, I'm out.
