Driving Greece – Backroads and beaches

We love driving Greece! The roads are good and the backroads are exciting…the goat paths…not so much. But we rely on the "Google Lady" to get us to and through most places we drive. She has been especially helpful, and also, especially problematic in Greece as she continues to tell us to turn left off… Continue reading Driving Greece – Backroads and beaches

Psarotaverna (Fish Taverna) Aristea

We love frequenting fish tavernas! Mainly because they have fantastic fish! But the salads, the metzedies, the kebabs, and the souvlaki are also pretty darn delicious! We found the Aristea while driving along the beautiful seaside roads of Evia and had to go back for dinner that night (oh ok and the night after too!).… Continue reading Psarotaverna (Fish Taverna) Aristea

Cats, cats, and more cats... The 'Aitutaki Community Cat Project' is a group of veterinarians, vet techs, nurses, and helpers who have been coming to Aitutaki for the last couple of years to de-sex local and feral cats on the island.

Club Rora Sunday Bar-B-Que at Rumba

Well, we decided not to 'go out' for dinner and instead try the Rumba beach front restaurant for the Sunday bar-b-que and it was not a mistake. We went early to get a sea side table and to get a glimpse of what was being offered. The salad buffet looked awesome and the sauces looked… Continue reading Club Rora Sunday Bar-B-Que at Rumba

Take up where we left off…

It seems that the time flies too fast and that we get caught up in the swiftness of the current of life and sometimes we need to just take a moment to …breathe… inhale…exhale…repeat slowly. This is a listing of what is coming to the ‘fill-in-the-blanks” section over the past year. Some of these travels… Continue reading Take up where we left off…
