I love Zante....

We vacationed there many years ago and it was one of our best vacations ever. We stayed in some rental studios near Lagana and met some great people who were staying there. We also had friends and family who were vacationing nearby. We'd taken the boys bicycles with them and I'd ride down the road to the bakery and buy fresh raisin bread and milk for breakfast then we'd get ready for the beach and spend hours swimming and playing volleyball in the water and raquettes on the beach. Each night we'd drive to a different area for dinner at a local taverna. I remember we had rabbit stifado the one time and it was fabulous. Another night we went up a mountain to a taverna that was famous for it's steak. On the way down, there was a really nice song playing on the radio and Mr. Stirly stopped the car and we got out and waltzed in the middle of the road in the light from the car's headlights. There were three other cars with us and as we were in the lead, they had to stop as well. They all thought it was was great, us doing something like that - so spontaneous. Things memories are made of.......

Older son's Godfather is from Zakynthos and even tho' he lives in Canada, he has built himself a lovely house on a good-sized piece of land in his village. He's got a vineyard and olive orchard and all kinds of fruit trees. He comes to stay for a month or so two or three times a year. A couple of years ago he flew his whole family over so that his youngest granddaughter could be baptized in a little church in the village.

Have you got some pictures you could share on FB. Would love to see them...

I just gave up on it. I'd rather have Heathcliff doing a bit of smouldering than him coming after me with the washing line and a ping-pong bat.
