26. WARM BAD

When I arrived in Greece I immediately felt at home. Something I rarely have.
From the first moment I receive the warmth of my downstairs neighbors Maria and Babis, their
friend Christos. 3 Golden people. Gold in every sense of the word for me.
From that moment on friends for life as family, true love!

No transport and then you notice how emasculated you are, so incredibly dependent.
There is no real supermarket for daily groceries.
Babis takes good care of me, helps me with the groceries. He regularly gets me bread. And if anything, he's there! I'm learning Greek words and I'm still happy about that. Practice makes perfect.

A special moment that I will never forget.
Celebrating my birthday alone felt 'bare' without my family and friends.
Babis called me and said 'Evelyn, come down'. No sooner said than done.
The three of us were happily chatting, and they surprised me with a nice bottle
of Prosecco my 63rd birthday. It gave me a lump in my throat, so sweet!

The Mediterranean climate does me good. Finally breathing normally again.
Your restyled body feels healthier and more energetic. Delicious!
Waking up in the morning from my bed with a view of the sea, a great gift.
Work out in silence on the terrace in the morning light, then enjoy the coffee.

Nice and fresh and fruity exercise in the apartment. Through the daily ritual, cleaning and mopping.
And to the beach to put the trash in the container and a walk on the beach for dessert.
Then JENs KookFun with a siesta in between.
After the delicious dinner, I enjoy the sea view from my chair in the hallway.
Tomorrow I'm going to the big local market with Babis, which I'm really looking forward to.
The people, vegetables, potatoes, meat, fish and so much more melt my heart.
Tomorrow I'm going to make the mouth-watering SALMON PASTA.
Being here feels like a warm bath, thanks to Maria and Babis and Christos.
