This is a picture of my husband’s aunts and their best friend in the town of Kranidi, Greece. We had just come from church. Kranidi is a typical Greek beach town, but not the kinds tourists visit.

Instead, most of the residents are fishermen and farmers, producing one of Greece’s finest varieties of olive oil and the best produce around. There is a pastry shop on every corner.
