I missed the counting the 1st round at 7:10. The second round at 8:03 numbered 31.
The chanting is lovely.
The time changed here this weekend-fall back.
Daily update 10/26 until today 10/28.
Been busy entertaining ourselves. I am sure details are missing, here is the general gist. Walked around the town, locked gates and all. Bought major souvenir, a raku pelican. It is gorgeous.
Took a cruise around the port of Tolo, Nafplio, and Port Chelli, to Hydra Island and Spetses Island. Think Larkspur ferry from 8:45am until 8pm, with 3 and 1 hour stops on the islands. We can say we have cruised the Mediterranean and North Atlantic.
Today was a holiday and very crowded. We had a preview of a marching band go right by our house. UnTours had offered a "cooking class" at a local organic farm, Nafplio BioFarm. Tour of the olive and orange orchards complete with chickens. Dinner was a vegetarian dish created with fresh ingredients from that farm or other local bio farms. Stuffed tomatoes and green peppers, zucchini rolls, and tzatziki (yogurt with assorted herbs that is served with everything.) Dessert was yogurt and marmalade. Excellent adventure. W
Late dinner
A complete stranger stopped to ask what we were eating (gyros) and insisted on taking our picture --- De Williams (Denten) http://followjoy.blogspot.com/ "The beginning is always today." M W Shelley
Turned into a sunset cruise. (Almost) full moon.
