OCTOBER 16, SATURDAY

SUNSET OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD

Today looked as if it would be a NHT day as rain kept me in all day. In the morning my adventure was driving Susie in our rented stick shift car through narrow streets to Parikia port where she caught the ferry to Athens. I got the car back on time but no one was in the office and I stood for a while under an umbrella in the rain until they showed up. I paid, but there was no inspection for damage of any kind (there was none unless we had worn out the clutch on the steep mountain roads) and no insistence that the empty tank be refilled. Then it rained all day.

But it cleared in the evening and I walked through town at sunset taking photographs of dusk including photos of the cemetery at the large church at the top of the hill, ate a pork gyro, and went to bed early. We swam two days ago but the weather is turning cool.

    Your photographs are amazing–with the beautiful faces interspersed. I don’t know how you manage to get those faces–with a cell phone? Surely not. I’m enjoying your travels.
