Dinner adventure

Thursday night, Kelly, Valerie, and I went off in search of authentic Greek cuisine. We were tired of eating at all the super touristy places. Kelly got a recommendation from our guide Yorgos, but when we arrived at the restaurant, it was empty and padlocked. We then wandered into a smoky billiards hall filled with old Greek men. We asked where was a good place to eat and the guys were unianimous: nearby restaurant Ouzaki (ouzo is a local liquor).

Yorgos told us, "Curiousity is the only cure for boredom-There is no cure for curiousity."
I think we satisfied our curiousity...for that night at least.
