Thanks for all the good photos! Yes, the food did look yummy! I think the "mouflons" look more like BIG goats, to me!!

Spectacular!!
I am glad to see I'm not the only one who photographs my food - ha! I especially loved your photo of the Bells of Kykkos and the little girl in the multi-colored coat playing in the snow.
