Greece

Our trip to Greece (Turkey follows) through food!
Our first meal...Hard Rock Cafe.  Okay, not Greek, but to make someone feel more at home.

Our first real Greek meal - meatballs, moussaka, feta and veggies, pork and Greek seasoning and so much more!  Plus, Ouzo for dessert.
One of the round baguettes they sell on the street.
Gyro means "turning"...then the meat is cut off for delicious sandwiches!

Our favorite take out - gyros!  Northing like you get in the states.  Plus fries on top!  We went here three times while in Athens.
We liked it.  A lot.
Citrus Trees on Hydra.
Fish Market on Poros.
This may gross some people out, but it's lambs being prepared on Hydra.  One thing is that they are raised probably very ecologically sound.  Another is that it's being processed by the cool guy with the cool moustache.

Drinks on Aegina.
Roast potatoes and meat.  Flea market day and a roadside restaurant.

Spankonita...I've only seen the flaming kind so this was different.
Yes.  More moussaka.

Greek Yogurt and honey.  Compliments of a nice sidewalk restaurant.
You've never seen a boy so happy to have some McD's after eating differently for days.
Our meal on Aegean Airlines.  That's right, a 2.5 hour flight and we got a meal.  Nice touch, Europe.

More to come from Turkey...
