Nutella, Fruit, and Relationships

I've never had nutella before coming to Greece and now I wonder how I've gone without it. We have a panini maker in the dorms so sometimes for breakfast I'll make toast with jelly, cream cheese and nutella. It's pretty awesome. Also bought two kilos of strawberries today which I believe equals out to 4.4 pounds of strawberries. The strawberries here are the best I've ever had. They're so fresh so sweet and red and juicy. I want to turn them into jam so bad, I just want to make jam out of all the fruit here. Fruit and veggies just seem cheaper and of better quality here than they do back home. It'll be one of the things I'll miss when I leave. I've never had a tomato quite as good as I have had here. The food altogether just seems fresher and of better quality here in Greece. And the feta is so fresh, super creamy it just kind of melts in your mouth. I love food. On a different note I can now see relationships begin to form in different shops. Like the cashiers are more willing to stop and talk to us, or help us with something. I left my sunglasses in a restaurant we've now been to twice and the lady walked half way down the street just to return them to me. A guy in the butchers today when we were trying to order pork chops helped us speak to the Greek lady and made sure we got what we wanted. And then there's this lady at this bakery we go to a lot now, she's very sweet and helpful and stops to talk and gives suggestions and things. Plus they have the most amazing tarts I've ever eaten, ever. I love food. Somehow it all comes back to food.
