Dorothy and I had Greek food for lunch today at Acropolis on Southport. It was the first time I’d been in there, and I must say, even though I’ve heard that Santorini is much better, I really enjoyed it. The saganaki was SOOO delicious! I had a gyro platter (which was yummy, but exactly what you’d expect from a gyro and really nothing spectacular, but yummy nonetheless), and Dorothy had cabbage rolls, which were unlike any cabbage rolls I’d ever had before. They were made with a lemon sauce which may SOUND gross, but it was actually really unique and pretty good. But the pita bread O M G it was the best I’d ever had. It was so thick and chewy, almost like naan. Yum yum delish. Enjoy a pic of the saganaki and the pita!!!

Per Ally’s request, I’m asking you to ignore the messiness behind them. Its clothes that they were trying on, and she was embarrassed that I was taking pictures with such messiness behind them lol.

Now, I’m wondering how it is that I have been to Southern Illinois about 400 times in my life as mom’s family is all from the Harrisburg area, yet I have never heard of the “Garden of the Gods” until today?!?!?!! A friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of him sitting on top of this crazy penis shaped rock, lol. So I did some searching online and imagine my surprise when all this ripe hiking area was so close to where I’ve been so many times in my life, and also where I want to return to so I can take some pics of family graves?!?!?!
We might have to add this to our Spring Break Illinois trip!!!
