We had our second breakfast in a row at Svoronos Bakery. This time, I found the staff unpleasant, except for the barista. I could tell from the staff's tone and vibe that we were not valued customers. I ordered iced lattes, but we got hot lattes instead.

Where to eat in Santorini (Fira & local stops): Svoronos Bakery, Yogi’s Gyros and Meraki

For this post, let's listen to "The Children of Piraeus, Never On a Sunday" by Nana Mouskouri. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H80V45BLP-g L… Continue reading Where to eat in Athens (Plaka & Psiri): Old Tavern of Psarras and Tzatzos
Laurent Cazottes – Vine Arts with Juice Imports
My buddy Chen is in town! I invited him to my newest addiction, a spirit tasting ($30) by Juice Imports at Vine Styles. I told Chen this was a rare event, as there are less than 30 bottles of each cuvée in Alberta. For this post, let's listen to "We're Are Going to Be Friends"… Continue reading Laurent Cazottes – Vine Arts with Juice Imports
