Thursday, January 20/2011

J still collecting info from the travel agencies on trips to Damascus. Prices are up, he notes, fro last time, and the length isn't very long - really a long weekend. But we'd really like to go again.\\Dinner tonight with the same crew as last Thursday, this time at a taverna (Greek translaates as Apostle Andrew). Not quite the same bits and pieces beforehand as at Vlachos, but nice little plates of cheese, olives, tomato, cucumber and smoked almonds. Generous portions too, with salad, chips and rice on our enormous plates as well as the meat. No waste either as Harry and Elsa always come with plastic bags to take home any leftovers to their many pets.
