After being picked up at the airport by Jimmy, we had dinner with all the family on Alex's side. They prepared lots of traditional greek dishes and many desserts as well. It was a nice treat to have a home cooked meal the first night in Greece.

we drove our huge tour bus through this little town, which actually had a ski shop for the nearby mt. parnassos, or "parnanny" as we call it.
