Meet Mama, and other Greek friends!








Bonjour mes amis! While in Greece, Lee and I met some wonderful people, native to Greece. One of our favorite personalities was Mama, at her restaurant, Mama's House, in Fera, Santorini. She greeted everyone who entered her restaurant with, "Hello, children, are you behaving yourselves?" As well, our hotel owner, Alexander, took us to a taverna, which is a family-run restaurant, in Fera, Greece where you can sample the delicious specialities of Greece. We sampled Greek salads, a delicious Greek dip made with fava beans, grilled spicy peppers with olive oil, white eggplant made with garlic, onions, and olive oil, baklava pastries, and on and on. We met many kind and friendly people in Greece, people very welcoming to visitors. We were so impressed at how friendly the Greek people were and how excited they were to share their culture. Enjoy pictures of our new Greek friends!
