Thio Dimitri----It was at Thio Dimitri's home where we gathered everyday for our meals. I will never forget his beautiful patio where he built an amazing outdoor sink and the lovely awning that shaded us from the sun.
He also had a silly side which showed up in the funny faces he would make for all of my pictures.

It was Theo Dimetri who woke early each morning to visit the market to purchase the food for the day. He worked so hard keeping things in order to help make our vacation perfect.
Aunt Angie and Thia Anna----I don't think I have ever met two such special ladies. Aunt Angie is married to Uncle Nestor and Thia Anna is Thio Dimitri's wife. I could write forever about all the thoughtful things they did for us. I really don't think they sat for 5 minutes at a time busily caring for every one's needs. All of the delicious meals that I spoke of in the last post were made by these two ladies. When laundry needed to be done, they not only washed our cloths but ironed them to perfection. I so appreciated them and all the love they put into everything they did. There were so many cousins to meet and get reacquainted with. The last time my husband had been to Greece was the year before we were married. That was 23 years ago. He had alot of catching up to do. As for my son and I, we had a great time meeting and getting to know each and everyone of them.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet and get to know each and every one of them. They are truly special people and are not just relatives who live so very far away----but have now become FAMILY.

Hi Mimi,
What a wonderful opportunity for you to meet (in person) your Greek family. It certainly looks like you had a marvelous time!
The open air market looks so appealing ~ I wish I lived near something similar.
That was so nice of Joyce to comment about my blog to you, I've enjoyed reading her's too. We've discovered we have several things in common!
This land of blog is such a nice place!!
Even I feel like I've come to know the Panormios family so much more through your writing. I am glad that you had such a wonderful time while you were there and that the memories of the fun and love you experienced out-weighs the memories of the flights to and from! I'm sure you'll go agin some time.
Hi! Hopping on over here from Etsy Cottage! Love the pictures! I feel like I went on a mini vacation while perusing them....
