Thirty-seven years ago, I spent months backpacking the Greek islands, and fell in love with rugged, magical Crete. Now I’ve returned with Thor!
Leaving Bear dog and Tucker & Turtle cats in the capable hands of housesitter Maya, Thor and I are once again enjoying an extension of summer and swimming in the Greek islands. I’m particularly excited this year to be returning to Crete and introducing Thor to its beauties. I’m definitely not carrying any more monstrous backpacks, as I did in my twenties!
Computer issues and spotty internet connections dictate that I keep this post very brief, but I’ll return with more of my regular photo journal soon. Stay tuned!
