On the road to Fira
Santorini
I rode up that road on a donkey way back in the 1970’s. It was not my finest hour.

In 1973, I rode a donkey up that zig zag road. It was not my best moment. But the view from the top was spectacular.

April, 1973
I am now sitting in the Stanley Hotel in Athens, Greece. We arrived on a sunny afternoon but now that sunny afternoon has evolved into clouds and prospects of rain. Tomorrow it’s a full day city tour. Sunday is Greek Independence Day – possible riots. We are sitting here enjoying the fact that we opted to not go to Russia. The Acropolis is really impressive in real life!
