    My heart is bleeding. My HomeTown TRABLOS (Tripoly). I haven't been to in Forty years! Everything Mark sampled in this tour, I already know it and grew up eating it. I was " sniffing and licking " the screen just to
    " retrieve " the feeling " of HOME!
    Can't wait to go back.

    Read this Mark: *Hara* in Arabic means spicy but in Greece (where I’m from), *Hara* (Χαρά) means happiness or joy. Don’t you see what I’m saying? Spicy food = a joyful belly
