And now I interrupt Museum photos w foooood pictures.
Cafe at National Greek Opera. The chef is French but he understands σπανακόπιτα .
My ode to Greek coffee:

You
make me love
my tongue to savor
You, a throat to swallow
You, & lips to lick off your warmth.

That is all.

Now, this is Italian food, but the chef is Greek.
I look most glowy when I’m eating or about to eat.

Back to coffee. Homemade is best.

Fresh from the corner bakery is so good in the morning.

I think this was a Syrian restaurant. I devoured it.

Now, you might be thinking... but what about the baklava? Gyro? Salads?

Yes, wellll it occurred to me finally that I have been eating all that, you see, & not taking pictures!

So I will. I need to, so I can bribe my son to come with me on my next business trip.

And now we’re back with... yes... Greek food!!

Thank you for showing us this jewel of a place, Flint!

I now have bronchitis.

I’ve worked every single day this trip (interviews, recordings, rehearsals), & it’s been storming & thundering pouring in Athens, & of course London was London.
Today I walked around in a sundress bc sunlight makes me feel better. Now back to food.

Greek mountain tea with honey.

Mmmm baklava and marsipan

Even sandwiches taste good. I wasn’t hungry, I thought. Then I ate the whole dang thing! Plus both baklava (saving the marsipans for later!

)
Ok now I’m running away from the sorrows of packing & saying goodbye to this place by taking a nap. I’m going to nap like a happy bear.

Wait, I’m ignoring British food, you say? Well we were in a rather nice restaurant first night in London with Mary, but... Hmmm.... I guess I didn’t take pictures of the food... we had lots of side dishes and shared... I remember I loved the octopus and many other stuff!

Next day was tea with Armand with some nice chocolate cake, then we were all starving and went to dinner in a fabulous Lebanese place.

Then there was a really good vegan burger I tried with Andy. And some tasty dessert someplace.

I’m afraid that’s all my memories of British food.

The last evening in Athens I was very sick (I have bronchitis now

) and my dear friend Nikos went out and brought me back dinner. I wanted simple Greek dinner. Here it is, with Greek hospitality.

Oh here’s some really good tea and chocolate cake at Armand’s. We eventually moved it from the kitchen to the table... You know conversation is good when you forget to go to the table!

Wait, what about fish & chips, you say? You took the tube but didn’t stop for that?!
Well ok, look... Andy is vegetarian, & I didn’t take pictures of probably the world’s best veggie burger he took me to bc it was so danged good.

Here was a niiiiice restaurant where Mary treated us.
(Mary: dinner here? My treat!
Me: can I bring a friend?
Mary: dinner for 3!
Me: ... can I bring another friend?
Mary: Dinner for 4!)
Then I forgot to take pics of the lovely food AND group shot. Maybe Christos did.
