8/3: Happy Birthday Christy!

Sunrise walk to the lighthouse again

View walking back from the lighthouse

Georgios lent me his motorbike, so I rode to the town of Kostos in the hills south of Naoussa

And then a little further south to the village of Lefkes

One of the few not-white houses I've seen

Lefkes also has an labyrinth (I think all Greek villages do)

A truly amazing labyrinth


Lefkes laundry

Back at Karina's Taverna - stuffed zucchini and stuffed cabbage for dinner

Loukoumades - donut-like balls, covered with honey or chocolate - this guy always has a long line outside his shop
8/4: Motorbike ride to the main town of Parikia

Parikia

A couple times now Greeks have made fun of Americans who think when they come to Greece they will still see old men with their donkeys going to market

I love this old door (sorry, I don't have any good photos of the town of Parikia)
