First swim

The sun is shining today and the wind is warm. Coralie and I made our first plunge into the sea. It was delicious...very cold at first but refreshing. We swam out far enough to see Hozoviotissa Monastery clinging to the rock face above us. John sat at the small church and watched as we swam back to shore.

Earlier in the day I visited Angeliki Kourti at LIME, her tiny shop in Chora. Angie makes so many beautiful things that it is impossible to describe all of her creations. She uses beads, wire, fabric, stitchery, pieces of leather, metal, cord...anything that she can use her imagination and her hands to create!

 

The first time we visited her shop, I walked away with an amazing necklace and a beautiful bracelet. Her creations are hard to resist!

Meanwhile one of Jazzmin's cats finally gave birth two days ago. We aren't sure if the kittens survived because she continues to spend a lot of time at the bar, seeking solace with whoever is available.

This morning she nestled into John's arms for a snooze. It will be about 6 weeks before she brings the babies out to share. By that time we will be back in Canada.
