Around Greece in the last few days...


Sign on a wall in Thessaloniki

My new sweatshirt -- freezing at night in Crete

I love this clay bull jumper from the Minoan times about 1400 BC, at the Archaelogical museum in Crete.



In the park with a new friend, at Heraklion Crete


Orange trees line many streets in Athens. I tried one -- very bitter clearly ornamental only.! 

Notice of the meeting with Larry and I on Cooperatives.  Somehow I didn't make it on the poster. Aristotle University, Thessaloniki.

Late night drinks with new friends in the left politico bar in Heraklion, Crete

With a new activist friend, at the public gardens in Heraklion, Crete.

Dinner with John, a Canadian who does various civil society projects throughout Europe. The dog's a stray. Athens! 

 This top one in white clay is a reproduction of what was found in the Parthenon. Look at the gods, all lined up.  Below is an original stone which lined the upper walls of the Parthenon in Athens.

Turtles (and a pigeon on the left) in a pool in the national gardens, Athens.
Larry in front of a house in the hills, the village of Kritsa, east of Heraklion, Crete.

Me, then Larry pose in Matlan -- on the south coast of Crete. Made famous by the holes in the mountains as you see. At one time they were burial grounds. In the '60s and '70s hippies slept in them, as this is a rollicking beach town.


Larry Always wanted a FIAT car - here he is with the "Panda" we rented to drive around Crete.

Relief of dolphins -- from the Archaelogical Museum in Crete.
From the Acropolis Museum, brand new museum, at the base of the Acropolis in Athens.
A scramble of my photos around the country...
