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

Cats of Greece
Enzo I've never really been a cat person. My mother didn't like cats because they walked all over counters and tables and my brother is allergic, so there were no cats in our house other than the kitten I hid for a couple of days in my closet when I was six. Enzo, of course, … Continue reading Cats of Greece
DelSo & CivMix
I’ve been doing this DelSo thing for what will be a full decade come December 9th. Wow. I don’t know how that happened, but, I’m also unclear how it is even possible that I will retire in less than 6 years. Boom. Just like that. Incredible! Over the years, I’ve written about lots of different … Continue reading DelSo & CivMix

I don’t really need dinner after another late lunch, but some ice cream might be nice and, since it’s our final night on this … Continue reading Missing Naxos

(Remember I did another one of these in Galway earlier this year?) if you’re traveling I recommend taking a look at Airbnb’s site and checking out what might be available at your destination. These excursions, classes and activities … Continue reading Eating Athens
Pride Parade pictures
I wrote a piece for CivMix about attending my very first Pride Parade, but wanted to share some of the photos I took here. It was a wonderfully joyous day and I was so happy to see and feel the love that was present. And, for the record, I'm there for my LGBTQ friends every … Continue reading Pride Parade pictures
