Another day in the mountains

WE obtain a great deal of joy from going out on excursions with our Senior Citizens group (KAPI) Although we generally know where we are going, there are always surprises along the way. The trip this week was to Apladiana, high in the mountains, but with a coffee stop at one of our favourite villages, Fodele, birthplace of painter El Greco.
  Turning off the main highway it was straight into twisting turning rods, further and further upwards, before we eventually arrived at the taverna. We could simply not find it ourselves, no signs, no houses and no other signs of life, although it could comfortably seat 300 or even more.
   We were promised music in the form of a trio who played through the meal into late afternoon, but nothing stopped for the meal, which included rice pilaff  and lamb - then pork from the rotating grill and potatoes.
  The dancing went on through the afternoon, we went off to see the ostriches they bred, hence the feather in Pat's hair on our return.
