Salamina, Greece




Uncle Soto picked us up from the airport and drove us to his beautiful summer villa in Salamina. It is simply paradise! The open style of the villa allows the sunshine and fresh air to flow through and the view of the sea, a 100m away, is simply breathtaking!
Surrounding the villa we were able to pluck fresh warm figs from the trees, pick almonds, olives, and so many other beautiful fruits and vegetables. Talk about organic selection!
But the best part about Salamina is our family! We haven't seen them in so long so it was a very special treat to be able to spend some time with them. My aunt Gisela and uncle Soto were so kind and hospitable to us...we felt so welcome and loved. My cousins and their families are lots of fun....we just need to find a way to get them to Canada to meet the rest of our brood. Alexis and Ursula have 2 beautiful daughters Sophia and Lea Melina, while Antigone and Fabian have a bouncy boy Jacques Nicholas!
We spent time in the sea, eating, talking, and laughing with all the kids. It was a perfect time in paradise with our wonderful family. Mik and Zoe both were upset that we had to leave...they had such fun meeting and playing with their cousins - bunk beds, sleepover parties and hide and seek! It truly was paradise for all of us!
