Dance To The Music

With Greek music playing, the engaging proprietor of the Corinth Canal souvenir stand danced to our delight. We had to buy the CD.

Corinth Canal

This is a popular tourist sight. We didn't ride the boat but the bridge view is a must.

Farewell, Ermioni

This morning, we left Ermioni behind, with many fond memories of our time there. We really got into everyday life. We went to the market every day, learned to say hello, goodbye, please and thank you, met many wonderful people and relaxed. We lived here and experienced the Greek way of life, if only for a short while. It was everything we wanted.

We're driving to Porto Rafti, a suburb of Athens (believe me, you do NOT want to drive in Athens...yikes), near the airport. We will stay the night at the Sea Sight Boutique Hotel. If we have internet access, you may see a few more photos. Then tomorrow we head for home via Munich and Chicago!

At a bench in the pine forest

When we saw this carving on the bench, we just couldn't resist!

Self portrait on the rocks

Even with a big camera, you can hold it out far enough to take your own picture...cool.

Petrothalassa Beach

Today we went to a nearby beach. While it was a little cool for swimming, it was great for wading and sitting in the sun on the rocks.

Our 35th Anniversary!

Our anniversary dinner-- freshly prepared by the best chefs in town - us! We had Greek salad, broiled lamb chops, fresh green beans and roasted potatoes with olive oil and Greek oregano and fresh bread from the bakery. Delicious! Oh, and wine of course...lots of wine, locally produced. In fact, we're still drinking it!

Our anniversary activity of the day was walking about a mile over boulders and through thorn bushes to visit a prehistoric site called the Franchithi Cave. Impossible to photograph, but very impressive.

And now, we're going for ice cream.
