School Year 2013-2014

Niko - 2nd Grade

Ana & Theo - Kindergarten

So exciting the first day of school always is for me! This year the kids were very excited to start school. Niko, after a long summer away, was so happy to reunite with his very close friends. Theo & Ana have literally been counting the days for 2 years till they got to attend the same school as Niko. They have over the last 2 year gotten to know their Kindergarten teachers so they felt very comfortable on their first day of school.

I am so excited. The new year always brings such excitement to my heart. Not to mention I LOVE LOVE LOVE buying school supplies!!! New supplies, new uniforms, new shoes, new classrooms, new teachers, new activities, new routine - all with the promise of an exciting beginning to a new year!

He's looking forward to learning more in science, spending time with his great friends, playing soccer, and basically being a big kid in 2nd grade!

Everyone all smiles, ready to start the first day of school!

Recipe of the Week: Kormos from Greece

Image
Hi Everyone As a continuation from last year, this year each week I will try and make a Greek recipe here with the Greek ingredients that I can find here, that are usually a little harder to find in the states!!! This recipe however no problem finding the ingredients in the states!!! There is a restaurant we go to often called Isalos. We know the owners and they wait for my little group to arrive because my kids order big and we eat a lot!!! The speciality is fish and seafood of all sorts!! Here is a picture from last year to remind you of where I am talking about!! The Greek tradition when you eat at Greek restaurants is that the owner gifts you the dessert! Yes, no paying for dessert!!! And they usually bring you ice cold watermelon and a sweet dessert. Well at Isalos the favorite amongst my little group is the Kormos!! Literally no plates needed, you quickly just stab the nicely cut piece with a fork and just eat it off the fork! And then you fight for the few remaining piece

As our days are counting down, I am going to share with you the reason we come to this lovely place..............crystal clear blue warm waters and an atmosphere of relaxation and calm. Many people ask me about all the political and economically disruptions and difficulties in Greece, and yes all that does exist, however in our small little oasis called Kavala we are in our own little bubble of wonderfulness!!!!!!!!!!!! Riva Beach Club and Bar Here is a list of the main reasons we love this beach Crystal clear waters that are shallow Small kids play swimming pool Best wooden platforms and lounge beds in Kavala This beach is in a beach area called Ammolofoi. It is a stretch of wonderful, crystal blue water, shallow beaches about 30 minutes from Kavala. We head to this area about 4 days per week and frequent the many beach clubs in this area. For me going to the beach in Greece is called Civilized Beach going......you have bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, cafe/bar and/or

Here is Niko!!

Hi Everyone Niko is having a great time here. He has probably taken the longest to adjust as he is very settled in his life in San Diego with his school and classmates! But he has adjusted and is having a great time. Although he does ask a lot about his friends: what they are doing, where they are going for the summer, and if any are close by to him in Greece (Jonas in Norway is the closest and that makes him happy). Niko is a lover of the sea and the ruins of Greece. He is a sponge for anything historic and is constantly on the look out for ruins as we drive anywhere. The loves the sea, swims everywhere, snorkels and loves to eat everything that comes out of the sea. His favorite is the full size, grilled squid!!! He even asked Papou for it on his own......"remember Papou last time (2 years ago) I ate squid, but the whole thing, that is what I want".......and he got it!!! Every chance we get we eat squid!!!   Niko's favorite things in Greece Swimming Beach
