Santorini Mou

Leslie asked the owner of a convenient store where we should go for dinner on our last night on the island.
Santorini Mou, he said, like the cow (mooOOooo). Apparently the owner was good friends with Greenday and Jennifer Aniston had eaten there once before.
We decide to give it a try.
It´s just off of the main road, enclosed by plants and vegetation, so one would never guess how amazing it is while strolling by.
But once we walked through the entrance, we fell in love.
The eating area is outside, but surrounded by tall plants and vines to give the restaurant a more intimate feel. Little odds and ends hung everywhere for decoration, including empty wine bottles, drawings on the wall, strings of lights strewn about, and photos of past customers. The owner also passed around an album with pictures of previous customers and a guest book to sign. It was great.
We sit down and order a couple of smaller dishes to try some different foods, and as we´re waiting for our food, the owner a friend begin to play their guitars.
More customers began filing in, and a couple even start dancing traditional Greek dances. All this while we enjoy every bite of our delicious food.
We sat there for hours, marveling at the friendly environment the Greek owner was able to create. Customers singing, dancing, and mingling with each other.
I kept thinking, can we be Greek too? We thanked the owner for his hospitality and left rather reluctantly.

Back the Thira - ever so slowly - on our quad, seeing as that it was nearing midnight and the roads were pitch black. I think I was praying the entire ride back.
