Dimitri's baptism

Today we went to a couple of pharmacies and a grocery store looking for Gerbers baby food.  None of them had any.

For lunch we had kefetedes and French fries.

Dimitrios's baptism was at 7pm followed by dinner.  A lot of George's relatives and friends attended. Dimitri was exorcised at the beginning of the 30 minute ceremony. His clothes was removed before he was thrown up and down in the holy water and anointed with olive oil. In the beginning Dimitri was sleeping, but he was screaming and crying when he was dunked in the water.  Supposedly Kristen had a shocked expression on her face.

Amongst the dishes at dinner was kokoresti, pork, and lamb.

Trip to the center of Athens

We went to a Carrefour grocery store in the afternoon. They didn't have any Gerber's baby food for Dimitri but at least I was able to get some Euros from the ATM.

After dropping off Kristen and Dimitri, George and I heading to the metro station and traveled into Athens to go to the New Acropolis Museum. Afterwards, we walked through Plaka and Monastiraki. There was an icon vendor who said they could make a Ladder of Divine Ascent icon in about a week for 250 euros. I declined.

When we arrived back at George's mother's house, George's cousin Maria and his aunt were visiting. George and I snacked on some moussaka, phyllo cheese triangles, and little Greek meatballs.

Later we went to a cafe next to the church where Dimitri will be baptized. I had a Greek frappe with Baileys. Almost everyone else had beers.

Arrived in Greece

Today I arrived in Athens, Greece, via Atlanta and JFK.  On my flight from JFK to Athens, I sat in the row behind Kristen, George, and Dimitri.  Everyone on the plane thought that he was a very good baby.  And then he chocked will drinking from his sippy cup and vomited on George.

George's mother picked us up at the airport.  Everyone was tired and took naps.  George's mother made moussaka.  Leonidas, Antonis, and their girlfriends stopped by later in the evening to see Dimitri.

Resuminator

It looks like something changed as far as how application resume works with either Safari 6 or Mountain Lion.  Before, applications like TextEdit and Preview would resume their previous application state when launching but Safari would start fresh.  Now, Safari re-opens the windows that were opened when it was closed when launched.

To fix this (i.e. have Safari no reopen windows that were opened when it was last closed), either run this in a Terminal window:

defaults write com.apple.Safari NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

Or, download Resuminator from here.  Another option is TinkerTool.
