So the last time i wrote, we were in the middle of the meditteranean, waiting to be dropped on the island of Patras, where we would then, in the late of night, search for shelter! As we stepped off the boat with only an address and a few choice words ... Read more >

U.S. plugs compatible with the European outlets in Athens. After searching fruitlessly

We arrived in Greece on a sunny but cool day (shock #1), had no problem (shock #2) finding a bus to downtown Athens…that only cost about $1000 each (shock #3). We made out way down the streets unapproached and unhassled (shock #4)…even when we were looking ... Read more >

I’ve been able to put some much-needed sleep between me and what happened with my camera. I can’t say I feel a whole lot better, but I feel slightly less self-pitying about the situation. More than anything, it's not about the camera, which was insured.... Read more >
