Thessaloniki Greece: Not My Fave!

Thessaloniki was our first stop; it is the second-largest city in Greece and was founded in 315 BC by Cassander of Macedon, who named it after his wife.

The best thing, for me, in Thessaloniki was the cats!!! Greece has kitties slumbering everywhere; they are clean, well-fed, and sooo friendly. I love that they let you love them!

We walked around for a bit and found several buildings, and churches under restoration, but we did not feel that the hike, uphill, to the open church was worth the effort, in the heat.

We saw the White Tower of Thessaloniki from a distance, as I have no desire to climb any more towers, on this trip!

The highlights of the day were buying three decks of cards, and getting slammed in Hand and Foot by Joe. (Two more rounds to go) and dinner at the French restaurant, Le Bistro.

I had the amazing lamb dish, and Joe had the filet, also amazing. I finished my entire meal (minus one chop), and my dessert. 

I chose a poached pear, with ice cream and a ring of chocolate, with a hot chocolate sauce poured over the top; Devine!

Joe had some sort of shiny chocolate hot dog! He said it was delicious, too.

I was grateful for an easy day.

Night y’all!
