| Feeding the Turtles |
We are now back in the land of the
living, which for some of us, means we can access the Internet!
I will attempt to get caught up on the
happenings of the past week in a couple of blogs.
Our last days in Vatera saw us truly
appreciating why patrons of the Vatera Beach Hotel keep coming back
year after year.
Jenny had Maria make us a spectacular
lamb accompanied by a 1998 Satyrion wine that Takis and Jenny had
found in the old cellar below the hotel. You can see the dinner
pictured here which would have fed Lubertpallooza! It was truly a
feast. Another night we dined on red snapper, fresh from the sea,
cooked over the grill to perfection with a very nice white wine from
Lymnos.
During the day we would go to feed the
turtles.
As we were approaching the bridge, the
turtles would swarm towards us like a concert-going crowd rushing the
stage, encouraging the musician in me to try to serenade them. “Happy
Together” isn't about turtles, and Sweet Lorraine (SL) was giving
me strange looks after only one verse with “Two Turtle-Doves”.
We would then throw them the bread that Jenny and Takis would save
for them and walk back to our hotel with our canine friends following
happily along.
The days in Vatera were peaceful and
slow. Ultimate relaxation. We grew to love it.
That lamb dish looks superb! I hope that you had it on your birthday and that you celebrated in style. I am here at Sandy and Deb's helping them with their kitchen reno until Sunday's festivities after which we leave for the Erie cottage. In the meantime, I got a Cavachon puppy named Kendra Lynne (for Kenny and Sandy) and we call her Kenny. She is an absolute doll and I have fallen in love. Scott and Billie moved into their new house in LA and Ali and Steve have bought a house in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida. Lots happening. Have fun. We will sure miss you on Sunday. Love...
