Perhaps it’s unfair to use an image of fish, frozen, and washed up on the beach. But then, once again it’s January, and we’re in Florida, and it’s a little chilly out there. (This image is more than ten years old. Being cold in Florida happens a lot for us.) We had considered South America […]
Trips
Two days in Athens, then home.
The last two nights were back to Athens to finish some touring. First, we returned the rental car. It was harrowing, and we’re just not going to talk about it. I will say that counting on your GPS in the city isn’t always a good plan as the signal can bounce off buildings and your […]
