Are you sure that Poseidon is the god of water? He is better suited to be the god of fitness fanatics or romantics, for sure 🙂

    Oh, forgot to add to all those Central Ohio people, the restaurant directly across the street from my apartments is named “Opa’s” and they have that ooey, gooey cheese they set on fire, and exclaim, “Opa!” when they light it! I love the drink, too.

This post got me all excited, first Poseidon, then the ouzo. I tried it three years ago in Athens, all I could say was wow! I didn’t realize you can buy it here. I now need to go find me a bottle. Oh er, Poseidon is lovely. And um, my house is very Greek god friendly 🙂
