We sit here now at a lovely establishment in town on our little island. We have had many exciting adventures, and more to come I am sure This island is now on the "off season" and very little is happening, so we are an excitement, or so we think. The adventures started when we disembarked the ferry at 4am sleepy and ready to ride the 6km to our town on unknown roads. We met our host and pushed our loaded bikes up, up and up. Exhausted, hot and hungry we fell asleep. We have mostly been reading our twenty two books plus some on our roof top soaking up the rays. We have met many people, including one man who has brought us fresh eggs and goat cheese, Every night. Emma, Gen and I took a nice hike to the highest point on the island (perhaps pictures to come). We have been enjoying cooking in a kitchen and the lovely sunsets. The picture is of the sunset from our second story porch. Our island is one of those picturesque Greek islands with mountainous slopes and whitewash houses with blue trim. We enjoy our three stories with boat staircases, which prove tricky when groggy in the morning when one is seeking tea or coffee.
Next Thursday at 6pm (Greek time 11am New York time) we have been invited to be on a radio podcast type thing. Check it out if you are up or you can find it later.

For those of you who don't know we are hanging out on this island to avoid cold weather, it was freezing when we left Italy, it has been in the 60s here. Also most of the campgrounds are seasonal and we find it expensive staying hotels so we are waiting for them to open. It has been a nice break, personally I have been on the move since early May, having finished my college work a couple days ago it is finally nice to read for pleasure. Everyone else is enjoying the relaxation as well. We are looking for things to do. We are working on a short film, a suspense flick about the robbery of a small Greek island bank (there are only three cops on this island). We will, however, enjoy our return to life on the go.
An absolutely stunning view! I am partial to Sagg Beach, but this is a close second:)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for a short film.....just hoping this is "fiction"......3 Americasn on a small island in need of money...bicycles in lieu of the get-a-way car.....need I say more!! Action, suspense, drama.....
How wonderful that you have been welcomed with fresh eggs and cheese and a radio debut...an experience most can only dream of ladies. Keep truckin'
