Hey Friends- Haven't posted any pix yet because the internet cafes won't let me plug in my camera to the computer. Wish I had my sister's gift of language so I could completely explain what I want to do! Suggestions? Sending love and hugs to you!

I'm staying amidst the rocks of Meteora of James Bond's "For Your Eyes Only" fame. Spires and domes and amazing masses of conglomerate that are MANY meters high seem unnatural at the edge of this valley. Monasteries sit on top and are ... Read more >

I'm now on the mainland after a bit of a battle with Poseiden. He seemed angry that mortals would cross his realm. Some were a bit more possessed by his power than I was, but it sure came close!

I take the bus to Tripiti and walk down a narrow road that snakes through a neighborhood. This spits me onto a dirt road that eventually turns to polished cobbles and I wonder where it leads. I come upon a sign that humbly announces the site of ... Read more >

Rocky, barren, dry, desolate dragon's back that rises savagely from a diamond speckled sea! A persistent breeze whisks the humidity away. I'm enjoying the lesser touristed islands in the Greek Islands-the Cyclades group. Narrow alleys lined with brilliant ... Read more >

The first part of the day was a travel day. I caught a bus to Termini and took a train to the airport from there. I forgot to mention that Rome has a great bus system and is free. It was a really great way to get around. The flight was pretty bumpy ... Read more >

For our last full day in Athens, Mick and I have just trekked up to the Acropolis to trample with all the other tourists over the ruins in the blinding sun. Restoration began in 1983 and there is far more scaffolding covering it now than when we were ... Read more >

Hello everyone, We can hardly believe our time on the islands has come to an end. We spent the last 3 days in the most divine accomodation with a balcony dropping off the edge of the cliff face into a turquoise sea. We drank, we wandered the little ... Read more >

The last 2 nights have been all about the drinking with the locals. First with Nick down in the port and then with Marina & Nikolaus last night in the hotel bar. It all went a bit wokeyed after the retsina came out. Nikolaus turned up the Greek music ... Read more >
