Panagia and lemons

Today we drove to Lanagada for a walk to the Panagia Church. This is one of our favorite walks and it was a sunny, warm day so we trekked up to the Church at a leisurely pace. The "backside" of Panagia has always looked like a smiling face. This time the smile was directed to a pile of donkey dung! No respect from those four legged creatures.


On the way back, we passed by Michael Ann at work, pressing lemons. The aroma was heavenly!




Michael Ann is a native of the Portland, Oregon area but has been living on Amorgos for the past 20-25 years. She was pressing lemons for  Iamata, a local company that cultivates, dries and sells herbs and essential oils. Many of their herbs grow wild on the hillsides of Amorgos.
