It was exciting having Angela's birthday! I got home late but Angela/Marj made a delicious ginger fish with garlic/soy green beans and basil rice. We then met up with Nick and Ray (the archaeology people had left for Crete and Santorini). The guys live right next door which is nice.
We had grand plans to befriend the old greek grandmother (who lives next door and helped marj/angela unlock the door the first day while muttering about their incompetency in Greek) to teach us how to make baklava. These plans sadly have never panned out. And I have yet to meet 'Nona' as we affectionately call her.
Instead we went to a bakery- the only one open/nearby. We got a caramel cake with a very nice glaze. It looked really pretty (I'll upload pictures later), but was extremely sweet.
We also bought a giant bottle of wine (1.5 L for 4 euros) and candles. After deciding that cutting it would be too hard we all just dug in...we mutilated the cake but it was fun (again pictures to come).
