Left and Right for Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday #73

“Life is mundane without the new and unexpected. I guess that has been and continues to be my downfall… I’m constantly searching…”
Adria J. Cimino
Left and Right for Mundane Monday
Passing,
The right side
Moving,
Towards the left side
Which side?
It’s really
A matter of perspective
The other right
Or the other left
The mind subjective
Do I have to choose
What if I loose
What is good for the gander
May not be good for the goose
Better then
To stay in the middle
Because
In the end
Life is a riddle

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)
All in blue and white
As the principal
Traditional,
But of course
And definitely
Nothing by the Norse
A restaurant or bar
Always near
Never far
When in Greece
No need to sneeze
Because it’s always
Warm and bright
And you may sit
Almost, where ever
You like
Enjoy a meal
With something strong
Or even light
You’re on an island
Time for some smiling
After all
When in Greece!

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post
Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?

“You know, it is said that we Greeks are a fervent and warm blooded breed. Well, let me tell you something – it is true” Melina Mercouri
Ancient Kamiros
Gun’s travel log, stardate: Greece, Kamiros EET (GMT +3)
Kamiros (/kəˈmaɪərəs/; Greek: Κάμειρος) is an ancient city on the island of Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, Greece. It lies on the northwest coast of the island, three kilometres west of the village of Kalavarda.
This archaeological site contains ruins of the Hellenistic and Roman city of Kameiros together with the neighboring necropolis, which although first discovered in 1859 was mainly excavated during the Italian occupation of the island (1912-1943). Of the classical city, only the façade of a late classical fountain and some walls from the agora (market) remain.
The settlement was constructed on three separate levels of the hill. At the bottom was the first terrace with public buildings, market and temples, then on the second terrace was the main settlement and finally in a dominant position at the top of the hill was the acropolis with the Temple of Athena Kameirados (6th century BC), a reminder of the former wealth and historic significance of this ancient city.

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

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!

Afternoons by the Pool

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
