Adio....Timbaki, Souvlaki, and Raki

Okay - I said goodbye to Raki a few months ago (couldn't take the hangover.) But I'll sure miss the Souvlaki we have each week at the Timbaki market (photo.) It's with bittersweet feelings that we're leaving Pitsidia in a few days. We've met some wonderful friends here - we'll miss them but look forward to seeing them again - and we feel like we've become part of the community. Yesterday, I guy I hardly know (but helped move) said to me "I heard you're leaving Monday." Matthias said: "no, on Wednesday" but all I could think of was this that guy heard something about ME??! Cool!

The weather is getting warmer and more people are starting to fill the village. Actually, another room in our "apartment building" (actually, an efficiency in a building with about eight guest rooms) is currently occupied. I guess we were quite spoiled having the whole place to ourselves all winter, I think now each time I hear the upstairs toilet flush.

We've taken a stab at packing the bike bags today, and wondering how our 3-year-old bikes with umpteen KMs behind them are going to manage. Not to mention the 40 (or so) year olds riding them! But a new adventure awaits.

(no, I didn't dye my hair blonde - that's Matthias and Izabelle in our favorite Pitsidia pub.)
