day 12....Another day in paradise!  Just" chillin like a villin" as our son mikey would say! Sat around the beach getting darker. Angie's darker than me. Did more snorkelling off the island. Amazing schools of fish you can swim with. Some swim toward you seemingly not intimidated by the large awkward looking object in front of them. Later we walked the main street in Nydri once again. The carnival-like atmosphere is like a magnet for us. We love the shopping,the people,the food! It was around 8pm when we sat down at a great taberna facing the harbour. What we thought was going to be a quiet evening of fine dining turned into a typical Greek festival with music,stomping feet and broken plates. A whole huge family of greeks and their friends started the festivities with each one of them showing their dancing expertise,plate smashing and all!!!!!!!  This was the place to be in Nydri. We ordered souvlaki {grilled pork on a skewer} gemista stuffed tomato with rice and green pepper,feta cheese,olive oil and balsamic dressing. The two of us could'nt believe that once again we were totally immersed in the Greek culture. The evening was a blast! You only see parties like this in movies. this one made our day. What an experience!
