Happy Month from us .... that's the first thing people say to one another here in Greece on every first of the new month... so today we greeted everybody with this wish.... and I greet you all with this same wish!!

We had a lovely day full of unscheduled encounters; one of my friends called at ours and after her visit, we headed towards Sweetheart's village in order to see his vineyard. 
There relatives live next to his vineyard, so we made a social call at theirs, what was wonderful and unscheduled too. 
The vineyard looked fine and we moved on towards the village of Ravdouchas, where I'd photographed the little Agios Giorgos church last year, and today again.
Then we went the slope down from that village onto the shoreline and that's a steep descend! In my blip the taverna blipped where we had a nice meal what was ended with a glass of tsikoudia (raki) and a "Sweet on the Spoon" (Γλυκο του κουταλιου). A Homemade Sweet of Sweet pumpkin and some yoghurt (see extra).

On the beach with pebbles next to this taverna I found many many little pumice stones and the taverna owner told us they're there on "his"  beach since a decade, when a little tsunami... a very heavy storm, he named as such.. had thrown these stones from the sea's bottom onto his beach. These little pumice stones are old, very old, they must be from the vulcanic outbreak what made half Santorine sink, what caused the Biblical 7 weeks of darkness in the Levant and made Atlantis disappear. That vulcanic outbreak is also named the Minoan Eruption as it ended the Minoan culture here on Crete; that vulcanic outbreak happened 1600 years BC... and I found some pumice pebbles of then on the beach of Rodopou now!  (picture in the extra)
