First Stop

The guest house that Janna found for us to stay for the first three nights is great. Very clean and modern with orange flokati rugs, just like in my music room at home. We are in a rural town west of Corinth. The population is 80% farmers. Every home has orange and lemon trees laden with fruit which is laying unwanted on the ground and squashed in the street. They are the best and juiciest oranges I have had. I guess the price dropped and nobody is buying them. It's also a vacation spot with a nice access to the ocean and beach homes owned by Athenians. The housekeeper Mina and her husband Peter and three boys have adopted us, letting us use the internet in their home, inviting us eat with them, showing Janna how to make spanikopita, and now that we are supposed to be moving on to an apartment in downtown Athens, inviting us to stay in their home (a number of people here don't think it's a good idea to stay in Athens). Peter is a farmer on the family farm, he grows olives for oil, apricots and grapes. Tonight he has an invitation to a wedding at the orthodox church, he said we could come with him. He said

Mina could look after the boys, I'm wondering if we should both go, or if Janna should stay.
