The highlight of my day these days happens to be in the late afternoon: after the lunch cleaning up and midday-break and just before rush-hour dinner time. It’s around “now” that I go out and have a cup of authentic Greek coffee.
For the purists amongst us: Greek coffee is as Greek as French fries is French. In the first case, the Turkish will want to make a claim, and in the latter, the Belgians want to state they invented the French fries…
Oh, I just love watching people strolling by and sipping my dark cup of coffee: the coffee powder used has been pounded from coffee bean until they have a consistency of flour.
So once you get your Greek coffee it’s all about letting it rest and sink to the bottom. And that’s exactly my what I
intend to do with my state of mind: let it rest and sink all daily life troubles and worries to the bottom…

Euhm… I guess the good old fashion way…
Yet to my utter amazement there is a well in Kos when you drink the water, you become pregnant. I did visit this well, yet since I don’t need any more kids, I stayed well away from the well 
In fact I was more interested in the hibiscus tree blooming over the well… Yes, I took an organized tour around Kos yesterday. Quite an easy and cheap way to cover vast parts of the little Kos Island, just the down-part of an organized bus tour is the lack of good food and the lack of "off the beaten track" places to visit.
On the other hand I did pass lots of little restaurants that could be promising when it comes to good old fashion Greek cuisine

So on my educational trip around Kos Island learning about How to get pregnant in Greece and other Greek cultural activities, the highlight of my trip was of course being able to sample the Greek authentic food!
… Greek fries (cannot call them French fries being on a typical gourmet trip in Kos Island, Greece), Greek omelet and Greek tomatoes! … Now I do love French fries and I do love fresh organic tomatoes, but I had expected a bit more Greek oriented food than this plate.
That’s why I need to rent a car and check out those little restaurants we came across in the hill side of Kos Island
