The "AVOCADO" Restaurant in Athens
... you, the portions are nicely presented and they are huge.
In all it was another great outing and I highly recommend it not only to Vegetarians and Vegans but to anyone who is after the good nutrient food.
The remaining food left on the plates is nicely packed and you can carry at home, but we were pleased to hear that 8 to 10 poor people of Athens are fed free from the Avocado on a daily basis. Thanks guys for your professional service and good-will. I look forward to ...

Dancing at the beach :)
Sunday was hotter yet than Saturday but still the Greeks are apologizing for the bad weather? We went to the beach and most of the Greeks did not go into the water. It was cold at first bit not that bad really, I've been in much much colder water! Like the atlantic ocean in Portugal in spring! That was feckin' cold my hands and feet froze!
