Greek Restaurant

A bonus wall paper image today.  Not selected because of the image, tho' it's not too bad, but because of the info. 95% of slides have next to no details on them. Usually just the slide type (Kodachrome etc), a slide number and perhaps a processing date. 

Some photographers, however, do us a favour by writing info on the actual mount, and it often helps understanding the context.  For example, the picture shown above...so-so really. But written on the slide itself...

" Athens   Paradeisos Restaurant  Oct 9 1960    Mr Schaeffer, Mrs Warren, Mr Bourdeau."

What's their story ?  Who took the photo ? (Mr Warren, perhaps.)
