On Friday the 31st of August aka the last day of Summer, we had a full moon (in fact a Blue moon), and I couldn’t pass the opportunity to go again to my latest favorite café in town to enjoy it while drinking wine with good company. I took my photos in the afternoon, and went straight there, to catch a good table so as to be able to have a view of the whole city again, and watch the sunset while I was there. Watching the sun set into the sea, never seize to impress me. As we’re slowly going into fall, I take every chance I can get to wear some of my summer items, and most importantly some of my summer shoes, which haven’t been saved yet. This was one of these cases.

In my previous post I showed you 2 of the items that entered my wardrobe, and promised to show you a few more of the things I bought. I didn’t have time to photograph them then, but I found some now, so here they are:

Day 6 in Chios – Daskalopetra, Kardamila, Lagada
Day 6 begun with a walk to Daskalopetra, which was in the same area as our hotel. Just a few meters away from our hotel was Daskalopetra, or Homer’s Rock, one of the island’s best known monuments. It is considered to be the place where Homer used to teach his students.

What I wore to my cousin’s wedding
It’s finally time to show you the outfit I wore to my cousin’s wedding. I know many of my frequent readers were waiting to see it, and I hope it doesn’t disappoint you! I want to thank my mom for taking these photos (even if it’s highly unlikely she reads this). I always say how blurry are the pics she usually takes because she has trembling hands, but I think she did a fantastic job on this trip. Maybe the DSLR is much easier for her to use.

Pre-wedding preparations and bachelorette party
The second day after our arrival to Chios island we were invited to attend the pre-wedding preparations, which was a gathering at the house of the bride & groom to be, in order to make the matrimonial bed, and follow the common traditions. Per tradition, all unmarried ladies gather around to make the bed. The groom or the bride (depending on the local traditions) messes the bed 3 times, until he/she’s finally satisfied with the result. After that, they usually put a baby girl or baby boy on the bed (to bring fertility to the future spouses). Then, all guests throw rice/sugar-coated almonds (koufeta)/rose petals and money on the bed to wish prosperity for the couple. There’s usually a food buffet, and a traditional drink included.
This is what I chose to wear that day!
