we spent some time out in silata after we returned to greece. it was great to see everyone, and relax a bit more before the school year started.
this is the best picture of the girls that i have, eleftheria has been struggling to keep her eyes open for pictures lately, but that's alright, they all look cute with their flowers.
the girls went to town on eleftheria's mane with the flowers that they picked from mom's garden.
no one gave me any flowers.
just yesterday it was eleftheria's b-day. so, we decided to not be home all day. we left the house and never looked back. basically we walked the length of the city, as the weather was beautiful and neither of us had been around much since our return. if you haven't visited yet, the paralia is a walkway that runs next to the sea with a number of gardens running along it. this is my favorite, with lily pads, frogs, coy and dragonflies like the red one below.
it was just a wonderful day, absolutely.
we ended up sitting for dinner at one of our favorite place. a great salad and some risotto made for a wonderful meal.
perhaps the best new bars in town, it lies in the middle of one of the main city park, open air with good music. dora came down to meet us for a drink.
I am pretty psyched about how these two pictures turned out, 11 o'clock at night, completely open shutter and no tripod.
our night ended perfectly. the old dock has been turned into a pretty hip place to hang out, and it was absolutely packed, but eleftheria and i found the very corner of the pier to sit on, busted out our picnic blanket, profiterol (the chocolate dessert) and candle lighting supplies. it was such a wonderful day, absolutely one of the best. we are hoping that as the years change, that we continue to find ourselves together and happy.
on a side note, these two seem to have taken up housing outside the main door of our apartment building. pretty fun to have some urban geckos. these two belong to the species known as mediterranean house geckos (hemidactylus turcicus)

Mediterranean House Geckos?! That has got to be good luck!! That is so much cooler than ants...Happy Birthday one more time to Eleftheria. It sounds like the perfect day. Looking forward to hearing about Eleftheria's work week and the start of your school year. I can't believe how grown up Aspasia (sp?) looks!
Eleftheria's work week?? did I miss aomething? I was also going to make a comment about rather having geckos than mice but Mom and Dad beat me to it... Thanks for checking in via blog at least. I thought maybe Greece's internet service got turned off.
