DR Kevin, of course go to the Parthenon. Be careful though as in many areas the old stone is worn, smooth, and slippery.

Walk around the Plaka area and also find a restaurant that appeals to you. https://www.athensguide.com/plaka.html

You can take an all day tour to three islands, Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. Or take the ferry to just one island. We went to charming Hydra and spent a couple of nights there.

Two and a half hours from the city is Delphi. You can find days tours to Delphi. We did a wonderful 4 day tour to Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora. Meteora was gorgeous.

Thanks, DR Jane! I'm staying for a week near the Archaeological Museum. My friend is going to show me the sights, but I just wondered if there was something in particular you recommended, such as a vegetarian restaurant. Since I have a reservation for the whole time at one hotel I don't plan on taking any overnight trips. Thanks for the day trip suggestions!

It isn't our favorite city. It should be different since you are meeting a local. I do suggest a day trip or two if possible. I can't recall any restaurants to recommend or I would have. I don't even know where I finally found a vegetarian Moussaka to try and I only found it once. On one of the islands (we did a cruise to various island & Croatia) we found a fava bean falafel. Bryan had made this for us when Keith grew our own fava beans. The one in Greece was almost as good, so if you see fava bean falafels I suggest trying them.

I look forward to experience Athens through your eye with your private tour guide.

Thanks again, DR Jane. And for the vibes!

I had been a Greek mythology and classics geek when I was a kid. I remember reading a book on the seven wonders of the ancient world five or six times. Getting to see the Parthenon and walking through it as well as the nearby amphitheater (with the world's freakiest acoustics) was fulfillment of a youth wish.

How great for you, DR JohnG ! Though I don't know much about Greek mythology I'm looking forward to seeing those historic places.

The car I took my driver's test in, and my first car after graduating high school, was my mother's Olds Cutlass. Keith is sure it was a 1961 Cutlass.

My first car was also an Olds Cutlass. Blue and white car. Hand-me-down from my sister, Linda, to both my sister Annaliese and me. Annaliese couldn't drive, so I had got most use out of it.

Dear lovely reader Jane, I have looked in vain, Jane, for a short review on Goodreads. So, to be plain Jane, vain isn't good so please review so I can read your lovely brief thoughts. That way I won't go insane, Jane, and remain, Jane, my lovely, calm self. In the main, Jane, the rain, Jane, in Spain, Jane, stays mainly on the plain, Jane, except in the Ukraine, Jane, where things are a bit insane, Jane. I know it's a pain, Jane, but just get on the train, Jane, before the hours wane, Jane, and before I'm forced to watch Citizen Kane, Jane.

And now, I must be off. I need to shower, get dressed, put gas in my car, get the oil and other fluids topped off, then hie myself to Tacoma to see A Little Night Music. Hopefully, it's good.

Be back later!

I have it on good authority that it isn't awful

Great deal to share a car with someone who didn't drive. Did that mean you had to drive Linda where she wanted to go?

My next post after catching up, which will now be this one, was to apologize I didn't get it up yet.

We had a busy day filled with boring phone calls, outdoor work (I helped Keith with trimming some of the bushes outside our patio), a six mile walk (took the scenic route to the market) and playing in the sunshine.

Keith is about ready to watch something & I am want to say more than what I posted here, not much but have not put my thoughts together yet.

Tomorrow morning I am walking, for the first time in weeks, with my walking partner. I should do the review once I am home.

Larry, you mentioned allergen screens. What are they? I'm sure you don't mean something that replaces the regular screen, unless you can change them out from indoors.

Speaking of allergies, ah-choo!

Jeanne · « **Reply #166 on:** March 31, 2019, 06:56:16 PM »

Jane, Simple Truth, a generic from Kroeger, has a bottled balsamic dressing that I plan to try soon. It uses soybean oil instead of canola oil or olive oil, but no artificial sweeteners. I've tried a number of Kroeger generics and have been pleased with all of them. Excellent prices, too. I'll let you know how tasty it is.

I did suggest that she might wish to consider putting her phone away so the bright screen on which she was conducting a lengthy text conversation would stop distracting those sitting around her
