-KarleeFood seems to be a staple point of the Greek culture. In our lecture today, we learned from Tryfon Adamidis, a food scientist, about the Mediterranean diet. He showed us a pyramid consisting of the Greek diet highlighting the emphasis on fruits, vegetables and bread. There is much less emphasis on the consumption of meat, which is entirely opposite of the people in Arkansas. It was interesting to learn about a different type of food pyramid and comparing it to ours.
Tryfon is a man
with much knowledge. He knows everything about the city of Thessaloniki.
As we were starting our journey, another man came up to us informing us
that Tryfon knew everything about the city. He said Tryfon was the king
of the city!The city is absolutely gorgeous and photos do not do it justice. We were able to see one of original towers and walls of the city. I'm a little sad because we were unable to go inside the structure, but it was still really beautiful. I hope that every person will be able to experience the beauty and history of this city.
