Roads Back

Almost, almost done, til next year in Belize...

Here, a bit more from our last day in Greece.  More of that village we drove through getting to Delphi--here, um, maybe local cheese...


Some more of the local produce I wish we'd had time to get out and sample.  Honey and ouzo, looks like.


And here, that bus encounter--though it really needs a video version--I'm sure Steve has one.

We stopped on a nice hill outside that village.  The girls hold up a newspaper, good if we ever need to validate the date, in one of those 22nd century Cold Case mysteries...


And Beth just hanging out, near these yellow flowers, that I still don't have a name for.  But more than sightly, the flowers also filled the whole hillside with a sweet smell.  (Sadly, guides in non-rainforest areas tend to not know all the botany I bug them about).


And another plant, not quite as warm and fuzzy looking...


The view, again...


Our late lunch, after we stopped at yet one more souvenir store...This is my Greek sampler platter.  All swell.  I had/have no yearning for that cheeseburger and fries.  Miss my Turkish olives and yoghurt for breakfast.


Then, after 3 hours more on the bus, with me furiously pounding my laptop, to finish the play, here's the smiling, slightly puzzled Xerox guy, making our 35 or so copies of 10 pages...

One last glimpse of the Parthenon, up there on the hill, as we raced from copy-shop toward dinner in downtown Athens...

Passing all sorts of nice stores.  A nice thing to do with gold--dip olive leaves in it...

A movie poster for Prometheus, though not quite the Greek story...

And a rose, for our last hours in Athens...

later, bob
