Blue Monday
Mellow Yellow Monday
I know that moving seems to be a never-ending chore. How wonderful that you can take a break and drool over these pictures. Happy Blue Monday, Loui.
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to go back!! Was there in 97 for 9 days (in Athens, and one of the islands). Serendipitously, we went today to a Greek day in our area, and had Lamb, rice, and salad, and baklava. Grape leaves would have been included if we had had enough cash with us:)
