We’re glad moods seem to have swung to appropriate mindset for encountering foreign everything. The pictures of the market remind us of the Athens Plaka, a sort of alley that beckons, leading to three forks that beckon, leading to , etc. etc. etc., We of course want to know who that man in the arab headpiee was who was hugging our daughter. We’re looking at the map and trying to remember your itinerary, but what does it matter you are on an adventure together in an exotic place, we suspect having just gone through our own adventure that it is at once entrancing, exhausting, mind-boggling, and haunting. Antiquity has a way of intoxicating and disorienting. But are you two having fun? Have you met a camel? Is the food delicious? Are the people friendly and helpful? Where did your hotels go? Is your Mediterarean as blue as ours was? Have you met a Jawa? What is the dominant music in the air, or instrument played in the streets? Nightlife?
Small advice: find a toe or finger hold you can count on and expand out from there. A corner you own is the new home. We await your next post with excitedly but know your time will be better spent in the moments than in reflecting, time enough for that later over a small glass of fire,
Love and hugs,
Doug and Nan
