Figs, Spider, Kitties, Olive, Salad
September 8, 2007 pm30 5:10 pm
Meeyauw (guess what this blogger likes) asked for a spider picture. So I went through 2006 photos, and found some suitable vacation photos.
- That spider was on my balcony on Alonissos. It was the best of a rather poor crop of arachnophotos.
- Figs, yeah. Two years ago I was there in August – just plucked them off the trees…
- There were quite a few kitties in the Old Town on Alonissos. Up top is one of a pair, below are two ignoring each other.
- There were a bunch of gnarled ancient olives at the foot of the hill before the Temple of the Great Gods on Samothrace. This is one of them.
- And look what I found! Another cucumber tomato salad. The port of Alexandroupolis. Followed by Sucukaki, which I think was beef/lamb ground with Turkish flavored herbs and spices. Excellent. (Also served on butcher paper. A gimmick…) This is July 2006. I ordered the same thing this July in Thessaloniki… nah. Just ordinary burger, without the wonderful flavor.

I’ve some photos of a really big spider I came across at my sister’s ranch in Texas a few years back. You can see it here
Wow, that was huge.
Click that link if you think huge spiders are cool (but if you are squeamish, just trust)
omg
that Texas spider looks like it could chase you down on the road
JD: your photos are great; i really like that tree and the cats. I wonder if anything lives in that tree. It should be in a movie about elves or gnomes.
If you ever get the chance to visit the old city of Yafo (Israel), you should definately go there. There are tons of (wild) cats, that start to meeyauw in the evenings. You will love it.
What kind of cats do you think wander around the old market (kale) in Ankara?
