Alexander and Maria must have worked so hard to create this beautiful home. It was so kind of them to allow us to take a tour of their home. I love the thick walls which help to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.<br />The little Greek cups which, as you say, are essential for Greek coffee are lovely and I loved the little touch...

I wonder how it feels to live in a 200 year old home with so much history breathing through those thick walls. <br />On a different note, Mardi Gras here in Sydney is celebrated on a massive scale. It's a gay and lesbian parade complete with decorated floats, lavish and unique costumes, glitters and colours, parade of dancers enjoyed and shared by fun-loving Sydneysiders and spectators alike. It's the largest gay & lesbian party in Southern Hemisphere. I guess it's Mardi Gras with a different concept. <br />Thank you for sharing your brother in law and Maria's home. Hope you have a good weekend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />AidaAida https://www.blogger.com/profile/05993851450911693898noreply@blogger.com
