Fresh



I know that my postings have been revolving around the sea, but I can’t help it! I spend most of the day at the beach, even now that I’m visiting my parents, and I still can’t get enough! I just hope you are not bored, yet! 



The first outing with my mum was a swim at a nearby beach, which from above reminded me of the beaches I saw during my last visit to Mani (an area on the south of the Peloponnese) . The area is mountainous, so the waters are green as the plants are reflected in them and there is a lot to explore where the mountains meet the sea. 



So, we put on our goggles and ended up with some delicious findings in our bags: fresh urchins! We sat on the rocks under the sun and had the most delish seafood meal! Their subtle flavor stayed in our mouths for hours. 



What about you?

 Do you pick sea treasures to eat on the spot? 
Have you ever tasted urchins?


PS. As I don't have internet access (I'm posting at a cafe) here at the village, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep a good track of your postings, as I can only spend a specific amount of time here. I promise that I'll do my best to pop in now and then to catch up with you and leave a comment, though.

Childhood


These puprle flowers, a bike ride with my brother through the fields after the rain, blackberries and the smell of wet soil and weeds were enough to drive me back to childhood last Saturday.




What is it that brings childhood memories back to you?
