Hola, I live in Athens. As the matter of fact, I'm planning to get out of this country ASAP. Just wanna say "Howdy" to another Texan! LOL!

TexasTed

No senor, but I do miss having Mexican (technically "Tex-Mex") food for lunch and dinner. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Mexicano-Americano. Anyway, I'm not moving back to TX or the US, and let's get leave it that way. Never thought the smell of browning ground beef on a skillet could be so nostalgic. BTW, you didn't have a longhorn bumper sticker on your pickup/SUV, did you? LOL, just checking.

Oh... Never mind, just read your profile. Beaumont, TX. It's possible that you're an AGGIE!

UNT. They have a great music program, really wish I had gone there for my undergrad though.

Go fix yourself some chicken quesadillas, and that's what I do occasionally when I pass by a Carrefour and pick up some El Sabor flour tortillas. I really want some quacamole but avocados are just so darn expensive here. I used to get 3 small avocados for a buck at HEB. Anyway, I never really like Taco Bell that much, no yo quiero Taco Bell. When they finally opened a Taco Bueno in my town, I quit Taco Bell completely. Geez, don't know how you got me start talking about food. Gosh, I should go eat something. Wish there were a Whataburger here!!!

BTW, are people a lot nicer in Saloniki? i einai mono stin fantasia mou; I detest living in Athens, I keep telling myself that I'm done with cities.

Well, you have a nice Thanksgiving too! I'm just gonna have another "Facebook Thanksgiving" by reading what my friends are up to on Thanksgiving Day.

Oh, I miss Greece! I lived in Siviri, about an hour from you,  for 3 years before coming to Sicilia. I am returning in May for a few weeks if you would care to meet up.

Hello Ted,

     I lived in El Paso and own a house.  I am now living in Thessaloniki and retired.  I retired from the U.S. Army and a contractor.  What are you up too?  I hoped that you had a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Years.  I have a Greek wife and two twin 10 years old girls.
