Andreas' Award

Andreas worked with most of his team in Kosovo for a total of six and a half years over two tours separated by nearly ten years. They love him and he loves them. In appreciation, they gave him this award for his office in Poland. It's sitting by the window there now.

 

Models, Statues, and Grave Stones

More ancient artifacts in Bacoli castle. Many depict ordinary people.

 

Thai in Athens

Andreas ordered Thai food for our apartment one night. This is what we got. Thai is very rare in Kosovo. Tasted pretty good.

 

Royal Plum by Ink Circles: Make Stuff May #27

Another Ink Circles Patreon start. This is far off the original colors.

 

Moonrise Snail by Kathryn Landis: Make Stuff May #26

This was from the March Black Needle Society subscription box - the pattern and the fabric. The threads are from stash. Mainly getting an outline of the snail at the moment.

 

Almost Closed

The garden is almost completely enclosed now. I am nearing the end of the cross stitches.

 

Loupino

This was our big meal out in Thessaloniki. Loupino is an expensive restaurant for Greece, but the food is good and presentation is awesome. The steak was rare and prepared at the table. 

The restaurant is rather hipsterish in its clientele, and they sit you out on the sidewalk opposite the restaurant - even with a reservation. I felt I was having to hug the wall the  whole time. But the food was worth it.
