  1. As much as I would say "Drones are your friend," you lost me at outside terrace dining in the main commercial area of Kas. Compared to the concept of outside terrace dining in the Seattle region, Kas wins, hands down!!! What a feast for the olfactory, taste buds and of course, culture. Thank you for sharing. The people look normal, calm and at the height of what life is all about. Salud! – Ron
