I have tested positive for Covid!

FISH FEAST

 Last night I was invited to a fish feast.

One of Greece’s top Free Divers was visiting and offered to share 

his daily catch from a spear fishing expedition.

There were nine fish of various sizes and types.

We couldn’t manage to eat them all so one was given 

to the host of the restaurant that had grilled them for us.

Early morning competition

Love the architecture!

Summer days continue

 Hot days with daily swims and dinners with friends.

Hot days

 

Another hot day with no wind! Yesterday I went with a friend in a small boat to a sandy beach and enjoyed several swims. Today I decided to wander around Chora and do some drawing.

I have two secret spots that  are usually shaded. Today they were not shaded so I moved to an outdoor cafe  to sketch one of  the churches in Chora.

 

A visit to Vroutsi

 This afternoon I drove to the village of Vroutsi to visit my friend

Every village holds reminders of past lives. Once a cafe, this door locks in the memories of a vibrant community from yesteryear.

Waiting for my friend to arrive from her daily morning swim,

I was drawn to the contrast between the aging door 

and the vivid laundry of today’s life in the village.
