We will remember (our Greek life):

Altar making the noise that Ian hates just before we hear the distinctive sound of the little truck arriving

Our gold curtains blowing in the wind

Walking along the beach to town and finding beach glass

Yuli saying something is “breaking her nerves”

Our man and his wife from Athens

Seeing the buses going up and down the hills and having Rachel say to me when we are in the water, "Look there's the bus going to... Langada, Tholaria, Chora, or Katapola" like its the first time she is seeing it

Swimming in the Sea. swimming to "naked beach"(Leverosso) to collect beach glass and have a stroll

Waking up each and every day to sunshine

Our first meal in Greece on Paros Island, more fish and seafood that we could fathom or finish

The view from the upper deck, morning, noon, late afternoon, and night. Repeat.

The French Canadian kids next door saying "Le Bateau" "Le Bateau" every time a ferry came to the port

Gyro Tuesday's

That if Patty Moore says it is paradise, it is!!

Waking up at night and going onto the deck to see the night, the lights, the boats, the moon, or listen to the disco, the karaoke , or traditional greek music

The view from the bathroom window of Langada at night

Nikos and Joanna the friendliest grocers anywhere

Goats on the highway and in the oven

Savoury pumpkin pie at Nikos Taverna

Lobster spaghetti at Limani

Sunset in Tholaria, rivaled those in Santorini

Discovering Greek writers in translation, Alik Zei and Andreas Franghias, and hopefully more

How healthy, how strong, and tanned we were

Our beautiful house and our lovely hosts Yuli and Yorgos.

PS: We are taking a BLOG BREAK IN SEPTEMBER, since we won't have internet access. Watch for the Italian reports in October once we arrive in Barcelona.....
