It is just beautiful! Can you believe that I been to Tarpon Springs??? I went a few years ago when I was in Florida visiting my Grandma (she lives near Tampa). I couldn't believe that everyone working in the stores were talking Greek! It is a great place to visit. Sounds like you guys had a nice day. Cyn First of all, I LOVE the look of your blog!

I actually think his aunt might live in Tarpon Springs. My favorite cultural place (of the few places I've visited in the U.S.) was always Little Italy in Baltimore. Good food, good gelato! And after I went to Italy, I could judge it properly.

Thanks for stopping by. We had a wonderful day in Tarpon Springs. So many people have relatives living in Florida! Just like me...that's how I ended up here! Hey Mel, You know it really felt good to be in a place that had such a mediterranean feel. I am sure you would feel pretty at home in Tarpon. I grew up in Maryland actually and spent a lot of time in Baltimore. What a small world! Hey Cyn!

I just remembered watching a No Reservation episode where Anthony Bourdain tried to eat a LIVE squid when he was in Japan... he almost threw up. I am still laughing...
