This is likely my last post from this trip -- tomorrow I depart for Kos Airport at o-dark-early. It felt so wonderful, so ordinary setting foot back on Kos. I've gotten to know the neighborhoods and streets a little (though I still get lost quite regularly). I spent my last day of vacation wandering the old town and tipping my nose into my favorite tourist shops, and lunching on a divine Greek salad and tadziki. The proprietor, a wizened old man with white hair and a belly laugh (though quite trim) waved over his chef (a Polish woman, living in Greece 20+ years) to spill her secrets on how to properly prepare tadziki.
She listed the ingredients -- the same as I know. But, she said, the secret: the secret is to buy all the ingredients on Kos. It doesn't taste the same anywhere else :-)
I'm off to a big dinner so I can gear up for my long journey tomorrow so I bid you good night. I'll post when I'm back home safe and sound, and cuddling my sweet Gobi and Turk. Look for tons of Greek and Turkish tourist crap in your Christmas stockings!
Love Tory
