They canceled Christmas

The mayor of Strasbourg, Madame Jeanne Barseghian, in view of the ever worsening pandemic in town, decided to reduce the yearly Christmas market to it's simplest expression: a big tree, lights, and not much else. No chalets, no market, no Vin Chaud... And many businesses going bankrupt.

It should have marked the 450th anniversary, uninterrupted since 1570 AD, even during wars.

A Monday Mural

Spotted near the archaeological museum in Herakleion, Crete, Greece. The name of the street, Agiou Titoy, or Saint Tite (or Titus), refers to the saint protector of the town. And the mural is about the minoan civilization.

October theme day: my response to COVID

You live only once... I was supposed to fly to Istanbul in march, on a gastronomical holiday, but my flights were cancelled. So, let's cook Turkish and other foreign food at home! Nevertheless, to fight cabin fever, I travelled when it became possible, Croatia in August, Crete in September, always checking the COVID stats before. Gorgeous food in both countries!

More COVID responses here.
 

Hopla!

A restaurant in the Petite France area. Hopla is the logo for Fischer beer. I'm not a beer drinker, can't stand it.

Nikos Kazantzakis

 

Nikos Kazantzakis is, and remains one of my favourite authors. I discovered him in my youth, and he shaped it.

I can't't go to Crete without visiting his tomb.Every time.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
