Via another devious route home this week we stopped in the big plaza in front of Agios Vasilios. We see this church every day as it is one block further up the hill than our turn off to go home.
This day we carried on one more block and sat a while in the paved plaza in front of the big church. If the view was anything to go by, Agios Vasilios of the patron saint of kids learning to ride bikes, overseen by mothers sitting on park benches in the shade of the surrounding trees.

That looks like a good spot to sit and watch. Actually, I could do with a place like that to practice riding my bicycle.
ReplyDeleteThose kids are like exocet missiles without the guidance system. You need the car park at the cruise terminal - much smoother, much bigger, and populated by fewer moving disaster zones.

ReplyDeleteWhen you lack a bike park, you use the plaza, right? Nice shots, though.
Tigger, I hope you don't mind if I point to my own post today... it is on an important subect that all bloggers (and SocMed types) ought to think about. Our digital legacy.
Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
We thank for doing that research and saving F the tech stress of trying to find it out for herself. xxx Mr T
Deletewhat a lovely place to ride bikes and run and play... and good for the two of you to watch and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI went to the doctor and got 4 prescriptions. Have Sinus infection, swollen tonsils, fluid in both ears. So thankful for doctors and meds
And we hope you are bouncing back and 'on yer bike' in no time.
DeleteI used to take my kids up there now and again ... Half a century again. I love plazas, unless I want a quiet coffee. The main one here is always full of yelling kids once the sun goes down. People, kids to watch and tsk tsk about now I'm an oldie
ReplyDeleteWe get the impression the Greek culture embraces yelling kids (like Italians do as well). At least kids here learn from young what being social means, how important it is. I bet there are fewer societal misfits here.
DeleteThat would be an awesome place to ride your bike
ReplyDeleteYou have a good view of the area from your spot
