“Wherever you go, go with all your heart” Confucius

Around the World in Black and White Presents: Third Edition: Rhodes Island, Part One

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece

Gun’s Travel Log: Greece – Rhodes Island 13

“A well-made salad must have a certain uniformity; it should make perfect sense for those ingredients to share a bowl” Yotam Ottolenghi

Gun’s Travel Log, Day Five: An Homage to Greek Salad

Gun’s travel log, stardate: August, Greece, Lunch Time (GMT +3)

An homage to Greek Salad

Tomatoes, onions and cheese
Who could ever survive without these
A feast good enough for peasants
Maybe even some pheasants
But especially for the tourists
From a far away land
Sufficiently and well nourished
Everything going as planned
Enjoying the feast worthy of Gods
Who could ever beat these odds

Gun’s Travel Log: Greece – Rhodes Island 12

“Don’t just eat McDonald’s, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That’s what fashion is. It’s something that is a bit better” Vivienne Westwood

Gun’s Travel Log, Day Five: Greek Salad

Gun’s travel log, stardate: August, Greece, Lunch Time (GMT +3)

Greek salad 
(Greek: χωριάτικη σαλάτα [xorˈjatiki saˈlata] “rustic salad” or θερινή σαλάτα [θeriˈni saˈlata] “summer salad”) is a salad in Greek cuisine.

Greek salad is made with pieces of tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, onion, feta cheese, and olives (usually Kalamata olives), typically seasoned with salt and oregano, and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include green bell pepper slices or berries of capers (especially in the Dodecanese islands).

After returning to the hotel, it is time for lunch. Order placed to room service and soon enough, the salad, bread and drinks appear on the doorstep.

Enjoying the traditional Greek Salad, with actual Feta cheese made of goat milk, fresh and juicy tomatoes, onions and bell pepper and let’s not forget the olives! Spread on some virgin olive oil and voila, you are enjoying a feast good enough for the gods!

Gun’s Travel Log, Day Five: Afternoons by the Pool

Gun’s travel log, stardate: This week, in Greece, Afternoons (GMT +3)

After lunch time, it was time to enjoy the warmth of the sun and cool off in the pool.

Swimming
All thoughts dimming
Relaxing
Nothing perplexing
Mind
Finally at rest
Unwind
Is the best
Turquoise
Filling the view
Disguise
All feelings of blue
