23 November 2023 Vouliagmeni: Thanksgiving Greek Style

 


Today is Thanksgiving and a day that started with a trip to Athens.  We visited the Cycladic Museum which gets its own post.  Since it was thanksgiving, we were thankful that a Sushi restaurant was nearby.  However we passed a very extensive liquor store on the way, Kylix, and we had to visit.  In keeping with our "New Gin" quest we purchased two new gins, both from Greece. Tokyo Joe's is a place were we have already eaten down in Vouliagmeni, so we knew that it would be quality.  We were doubly thankful when our sushi and sashimi came out.  They had some kind of power issue so no warm entries were available, oddly there were power issues at the other Tokyo Joes.   We ate our lunch then headed off to the central market.  Here we bought veggies, a tongue and a giant chicken to feed us the last week that we are in Greece.


A beautiful entry
