Hope you’re making it through this spell of humidity and heat. Greece was really hot, but there always seemed to be a breeze and the heat was dry, which made it different. Instead of my hair springing into curls and frizz, my skin screamed for moisturizer and sunscreen in massive amounts. It’s summer, what can … Continue reading It’s hot In the Heights

Eating Athens

A good time for all was not guaranteed since unexpected and bad news seemed to arrive … Continue reading In Memoriam – holiday weekends and me
