Fish are friends, not food

Today is our last full day in Athens and we had no set schedule. We had a leisurely morning, popping in and out of some stores, toured the Central Market, and found another place to try hand pies for brunch: chicken with bacon for D, mushroom for me, Miss M thought she ordered “pizza” but it was a ham and pepper pie, and Paul had a cheese pie which was more like a closed pocket versus the triangle wedge shape we were having.

After more shopping we popped by Little Kook, a popular Alice in Wonderland themed dessert place but didn’t stay long due to the crowds. We grabbed coffee, pineapple juice and beer at a nearby cafe.

After dropping our purchases off at the hotel, we went to Dr. Fish, a day spa and nail bar. We embraced what the rehabbing shark said in Finding Nemo: “Fish are friends, not food” and went for the ten minute treatment. Paul had been to Dr Fish several years ago when he chaperoned his school’s culture trip to Italy and Greece, so this was one of the experiences he wanted to share with us. Paul and I sat for the treatment where you submerge your feet into the tub and the fish nibble off your dead skin. D sat in the chair but couldn’t stand his feet being nibbled on for more than five seconds because it tickled, and Miss M avoided the treatment completely.

After the “spa” it was time for more walking and food so back to Pan Dora we went. Majority of pies were gone for the day but we were happy to enjoy more spinach and mushroom pies while watching them prepare pies for the next day.
