  1. Devastating #wildfires broke out in #Greece once again. After a fire on #Paros island, firefighters are now combatting fires on #Crete, the #Peloponnese, in #Boeotia (at the gulf of #Corinth), and most recently on a hill very close to the #Athens suburb of #Haidari.

    Large plumes of smoke can be seen from miles away.

    Gale-force winds on #Crete have whipped up flames prompting the evacuation of several villages, as parts of the continent continue to tackle fires. Wildfires have also broken out elsewhere in Greece, on the islands of #Paros and #Lesbos in the Aegean Sea, and the southern town of Trifylia on the Greek mainland.

  3. Got up early to #hike a segment of the Byzantine route from Lefkes. The road is over 1000 years old, paved with marble in places, like delicate pieces of a forgotten puzzle. Lovely way to start the day alone with your thoughts in the middle of #nature #paros #hereandnow

    It is a bit pricey--$50s for a 500ml. 14% alc.

    The winery said that "Monemvassia...came to Paros centuries ago, Malvasia Paros (PDO) made by sun-dried Monemvassia grapes....Monemvassia grape is not the same grape with what is now known as Malvasia di Candia Aromatica or other Malvasias, but some studies say it might be a historic ancestor of the Malvasia family."

  10. Chili & Raja

    They are in my care. I feed them once a day and walk them twice. I provide emotional security too, for their family is holidaying on other continents. This is why I am here. And they are too my living, breathing companions on this winter trip. Almost everything I do is in their company. 

    At the beginning I confused their names, and was embarrassed. I saw Chili as a King, as a Raja I suppose. Now I see that his warmth, like a mild chili pepper, reveals itself but slowly. Raja is more a prince than a king among dogs; a spiritual leader. This was my confusion.
