I was very early in the morning or late in the night - All the way in the back behind all the working people cutting up meat there was a little place were you could eat. They had a pot - big eneught to cook several cows in. I did not speak a word of Greek but I got an enormous piece of meat, a large bowl of soup, some bred and some retsina. I was fantastic meal - never had meat that good - and the company was great - the nices people - butchers and lorrymen - did understand a word they said and if you like shooting "street" with a 800/1600 iso film there were great pics to be taken I do not know if the place still exhists - the probably do not take a creditcard and the spoon might not be polished but if the palces is there do your self a treat - visually - as well as flaouvry cheers and have a nice trip - Ruben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bunting, Roger L (Roger)" <rlbunting@lucent.com> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 4:27 PM Subject: [Leica] Traveling to Athens, Greece >I have a business meeting in Athens in a couple of weeks.
