People sometimes say that a blog is just an online journal. I have to agree to a point, but I'm sure it doesn't come as a surprise that I don't share everything on this blog. But I've decided to give you a little excerpt today...Wednesday, April 25, 2012:
As I'm sitting here on a small beach, I look out over the Aegean Sea and am amazed at how unreal the beauty of this day seems. The beach is a narrow stretch of tiny rocks, pretending to be sand, that disappears in places around Port Taylor. Along the rocky cutouts of the shoreline grow magnificent purple wildflowers. There are no waves on this clear calm day in the harbor, but the rhythm of the water lapping onto the shore brings nourishment to my expectant soul.
The water ripples along the aqua blue peninsula in trained succession. It looks as though it's taking a leisurely stroll around the shore, watching people sun bathing, drinking coffee at beach-front cafes or having lunch on the deck of the local seafood restaurant. Fotis and Mary will be coming soon to meet me for lunch at such a restaurant. They say there is something special about Greek seafood. We will see...
Lunch was FANTASTIC: fresh calamari, shrimp, octopus, and some kind of squid. I'm sorry if I'm making some of you turn green, but I'm in Greece. You have to expect me to talk about seafood. There was also some fresh salad and bread in there somewhere ;)I'm only half way through my trip, so I'm not going to give a full synopsis of it yet, but I thought a little teaser would keep some of you satisfied until I have time for a full post later next week. Just in case you haven't been on Facebook, here are a couple pics from the great city of Athens!
