These usually consist of olives, lettuce, cucumbers, red onions, fresh tomatoes and a touch of dried oregano.

There is nothing quite like eating authentic Greek food along the waterfront of Parikia watching the sun go down on a … [Read more...]

Redding, CA – Nearby Lakes
KESWICK DAM Lake Shasta gets all the recognition, and rightly so, but less then 15 minutes from downtown Redding is another 1940's era dam and reservoir.
