When we were at Meteora, we arrived at a little house where there was a couple who owned the house and they gave us some amazing apple cake, juice, water, fruit, bread, and meat and cheese. It was all amazing. The next morning, they brought us some spanakopita (a Greek traditional dish with spinach and cheese) and then they day after that, they made us moussaka for dinner. It was delicious! Moussaka is another traditional dish that has potato and ground beef and is really yummy. They were really really nice! It felt like we were visiting family because they were so nice.
Meteora was really fun. We went to all six monasteries. The first two days we did a ton of walking and climbing because the monasteries were on cliffs and we had to hike up the whole cliffs which were super high. It made me very tired. The third day we went to the monasteries by car because the walking would’ve been on streets and not as safe. But we still had a lot of climbing. One of my favorite parts about visiting the monasteries was seeing the monastery cats! We made such good friends with a couple of them that we let them crawl on our laps. They were super soft and cuddly.
The pictures below are of me getting to use my mom’s camera! I took the two pictures on the right!
Here is us climbing and Tate and me lying down on the rock to rest. We think this is where the monks might sleep.
This is me sitting on Tate’s legs and also Tate sitting on my legs while we are resting on a bench.
I was hoping you would share some pictures of the friendly cats! I remember taking pictures of the nice cats on Santorini, but I’ve never been to Meteora.
My brother Findlay has a post coming about cats with pictures!
Yay! I’ll read that now.
