Today we drove around the west side of Lake Plastira down to the dam. Beautiful snow-capped mountains, about 5500 feet. A beautiful sunny spring day in the low 60's. Ventured off the road several times to see smaller villages. Had a delicious lunch of goat and wild greens at another tiny tavern thanks to our new friends Theddore, Maria, Georgios & Roman (pictured below) The taverna owner spoke no English. Ana exhausted her 11 words of Greek & lunch was nowhere closer. Then, Maria, who speaks at least 4 languages came to the rescue. We know the goat was fresh because I almost drove into a flock of them on the road--in fact they are everywhere. This afternoon late, we watched 2 dogs brings a flock down from an upper pastures, cross a main road & get them all tucked away for the night! Rivers and several streams coming off the mountains. The place has a real Colorado feel. We leave tomorrow for a short drives to Meteora & the famous monasteries. More to follow . . .
We are thrilled to be able to follow along on your travels. Glad you are enjoying it!
