The bad eye...
In Greece you can see bijoux with the blue eye sold everywhere. The greek people buy these as a protection against the "bad eye". It is people talking bad about you or good as well, people being jealous at you, people wishing you bad... If you have a headache or are getting sick in Greece they often think it's the bad eye and then you are "matiasméni" ("eyed"?)! Some people are doing "ksemátiasma", taking away the bad eye from you, using a cross and oliveoil. Everybody beleives in this, even doctors.

Pita and Gyros
My friend Michele and I had a nice lunch at Monasteraki in the center of Athens today! Here the chef is cutting the meat down from the "gyro", which means round...
The pita-breads are waiting to be filled with gyros, kebab or souvlaki.
"Merida Gyros" or a meal of Gyros...Maybe they need bigger plates...?

Neglection of my photoblog...
The last week it just has been to much going on, so even if it doesn't take long time to post a photo here in my little photoblog it hasn't been done...sorry to my beloved followers and readers, and to my blog!
Many demonstrations and seizures are still taking place in Greece. This picture was taken outside the Cityhall of Athens the other day. We haven't had any news or newspapers now for a couple of days either.
