When I awoke from my afternoon nap to the sound of the wind in the trees, for a moment, I did not know where I was. I smiled that my response to that temporary state of being was excitement and not fear. Good. I prefer the unknown to be interesting instead of scary. I took … Continue reading The perfect Cape house

Still swept away by Greece
This summer is flying by, don’t you think? I can’t believe it’s been almost three weeks since I got back from Greece.

That country definitely … Continue reading Still swept away by Greece

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

I mean, the weather has been unrelentingly sunny and hot, the food fantastic, our accommodations comfortable and the transportation between islands pretty much flawless. What more can one ask?

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
