You've had one, right? A pop tart? Well, we went to a restaurant tonight and ordered a something that was to a pop tart what a Ferrari is to a Ford Pinto. Luscious layers of warm crispy fillo dough wrapping fresh feta cheese baked to perfection then drizzled with golden honey and sprinkled with black sesame seeds. Oh dear. It's like my mouth was the autobahn and these perfectly balanced flavors raced across my taste buds.
Dddelight.
I also want to tell you about the Greek Orthodox service we went to tonight, but I am too confused and ignorant to tell you much about it. I will do some studying and report later. Suffice it to say that it was a moving experience which captured my senses and piqued my curiosity.
Tomorrow morning, early, we are off to Thessaloniki.
We have discovered that it is far easier to plan an itinerary than to travel it. We have decided to make some adjustments to the schedule and go to fewer places for longer periods of time - so I am sorry to report that Corinth has been abandoned- both from our schedule and from the modern world. Ancient Corinth is simply a n archeological site and general strike was anticipated for today (which could have made bus travel complicated), so we stayed in Athens.
We will still read and pray those Corinthians passages and prayers.
