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.

It provides some sort of consolation in … Continue reading If I told you I missed you, I was lying

Since we are now on our final island before our return to Athens, then home, … Continue reading The perfection of Paros
Mykonos moments
When I was planning this trip to Greece, a challenging task because there are so many options and I knew nothing, I struggled to choose between Mykonos and Santorini as our indulgent (read: expensive) island. Ultimately I went with Mykonos because I thought that party atmosphere was more appropriate than a romantic setting when traveling … Continue reading Mykonos moments
