Dublin, Ireland
Cheerio, now I am back in Ireland with Evelyn. I tried to post the above blog when I was in Skiathos but the computer wouldn't let me, who knows what the problem was, so I saved the draft and now publishing it. Anyway, today I am on my way home to RI and so ready too.
Visiting Skiathos & Skopelos was a wonderful trip, now that I have been to three of the Greek Islands I love them all and will want to see the others. They have some things in common but, each one it's own flavor and Greek ways. Very interesting. I feel that each time I go away I come back a different person. Can't explain it really. Maybe just a little more appreciating of what I have been brought up with. Not all good, not all bad. The respect for family and the comfort of friends, my health, my passions, enjoying the experiences that everyday brings. Can't wait to review my photos and start to paint what I came to love about these islands.
I think Crete is still my favorite, with it's ancient history, ruins, the actual size, villages and most of all it's most hospitable people. to be continued
