The small table by the sea.

The small table by the sea: is this picture familiar to you?

It could be in Paros, Naxos, Sifnos or in Folegandros…

Since the 1950s, the trademark small table by the sea, surrounded by sea trees and the songs of crickets, waits for couples in love to come and rest.

There will always be the waiter, with a towel around his shoulder, who will lean towards the table, and will ask with a smile: what are the kids having?

There will always be the tomato salad with capers and olive oil and fried squid served with lemon..

There will always be the feel of sand under your naked feet.

And there will always be the promise of happiness, and the wish that this won’t fade after the summer is over..

M.A. 🙂

    …looking at the photo of the familiar small table by the sea and reading Maria’s thoughts, I find myself carefree smiling and wigling my toes (inside the sand…of an apartment in Athens)
    🙂

    Many many congrats to both of you!!!!!!ReplyCancel
