Porky the pig, water balloons and Monemvasia

After a wonderful stay in Kalamata it was time to make our way to our next stop.  On the road to Monemvasia there are roadside stands with full pigs cooking on the roadside.  We made a stop at one of the stands for lunch, and the cook was very dramatic!  He slammed the cleaver down to cut us a piece of the pig that we had named porky. The girls enjoyed fresh cooked 'Porky' pig, and I enjoyed the salad.  This is definitely not something you see in America!

Monemvasia was our next stop, and it was wonderful!!!  The place we rented was amazing, and there was so much room, and every view offered something new.  We walked up, and explored the castle above, and walked down below, and were able to swim.  The town is set on rocks, and it had some of the best snorkeling on our whole trip.  When the kids were bored they filled up giant water balloons on the patio, and let them burst - It was just a simple thing, but the kids had a blast.  This was one of my most favorite stops.  It was not easy to get to, but well worth it!!!
