Stroll Through Town

Rusty had the day off, so we went for a walk. I decided to take him on the route I usually jog. I brought along our camera for pics, and it's a good thing because as we were leaving we ran into a meat truck- the driver was delivering meat to the butcher, how sick it that?! 





Apparently all of the gyros we have been eating have given Rusty super-human strength



I have been missing Cornbelly's...if you live in Utah and haven't been, go. It's basically a huge fall fest. There's a corn maze, haunted houses, corn guns, where you shoot ears of corn at objects, and more! Since we have no Cornbelly's I found the next best thing during our walk: A small section of corn stalks (or wannabe corn stalks). 





We got back to our apartments and ran into Dimitrius and his friends. I find it interesting that men here are always hanging out together. I hardly ever see groups of women out to dinner or at coffee shops, but groups of men hang out at all hours of the day... I wonder where their wives are. Are they just at home? Shouldn't they go out with their friends too? I used to wonder if the men had jobs, but I have come to realize how weird peoples' work schedules are with the mid-day break. A lot of places don't even open back up, which means they are closed for the day at 2pm. So anyways, we ran into them on our way up to the center for dinner. Costas offered us a ride. 

We got in his little silver Mazda, which was playing the song I can't Believe It by Flo Rida. Costas is in his late-forties and doesn't speak any English, so his music choice made me laugh to myself. He took us to the front of a restaurant, pointed to it, said something in Greek, then dropped us off. Although the people in the restaurant starred at Rusty and I like we were such foreigners, we're always up for new restaurants and this one seemed nice!  


This lovely art work was hanging on the wall in the restaurant. Can you find the part of it I thought was funny, but so fitting for Greece?



After we finished eating dinner we decided to eat some more! We went to Fresco and got a waffle for dessert. It was sooo good. It had Nutella, chocolate sauce, caramel, and cookies n' cream ice cream. Greek people put tons of sauce and condiments on everything. If you get a club sandwich, they lather on the mayo, if you get a gyro with any sauce, they put two huge scoops of sauce in it. Rusty and I decided dessert is the only area their over-saucing is enjoyable. We finished our waffle and basically rolled home to watch a Halloween movie. Since I don't like scary movies, we have been thinking of as many non-scary Halloween movies as we can. So far we have watched Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family one and two, and Fun Sized...if you have any other suggestions, let me know!
