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…

Cheap flights to Kos…You get what you pay for… Anyway, I arrived safe and sound in Greece. Domestic flights are not always punctual and after a bumpee connection I am ready for my daily Kos: help my family out in their tourist business.
Things were quite busy last few days, so blogging got a bit at the background. Seems we have everything under control again, so TheSkinnyCook is back 
I just need to be very careful that my arthritis finger doesn’t end up on a plate: yuckies! But we will call it a Greek specialty
Yes, that’s what it is all about: cheap holidays in Kos really gives you what you pay for: you can eat better in a Greek restaurant in your neighbourhood than having to eat yet another souvlaki that looks like it was cooked last week.
Kos Greece is like McDonalds Hamburgers: you can get a taste of hamburger, but it’s not the best. Same with Kos: you can get a taste of Greece but it is not the best. The food I ate in Athens on the other hand was a gourmet delight in a very picturesque restaurant!
Greek economy being part of Europe cannot compete with "next door" Bodrum Turkey, but if you are a retired Greek living overseas, then you will probably know you can make some extra money in the tourist season in Kos Island
