Images: Old Town Naxos; Ya Mas! (Cheers!); Sunsets at Dinner
If all of this were a canvas, spread on an easel perched on the rocks overlooking the sea,
If something were missing from paradise.
If someone gave me a paintbrush and told me to complete the picture, to make it perfect.
I wouldn't need to add the mountains in the distance, shades of solemn grey, slumbering with shawls of green wrapped over their shoulders.
I wouldn't need to add the impeccably clean houses, patriotic in their navy-blue and pristine white.
It couldn't be the sea, for there are no colours left in the palette to tint what is already a vivid tapestry of green, white, grey, aquamarine, and every hue of blue imaginable.
If you are reading this, you are a friend.
The only thing that would complete this picture is you...
We are having a terrific time, and we miss you all!
Today we visited old Naxos town, then hiked for miles along the beautiful beach. We have bought a new camera, as ours gave up the ghost. Forgive our enthusiasm as we post a few more pics now that we can do the sunsets justice.
Dinner – stuffed squid, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onions, and green peppers, grilled eggplant, and broad beans. No French fries, but thanks for the out, Sandy!
Just got off a videoconference with Susan and Bremner, who has broken his wrist!! Have talked a couple of times with JB, and once with Klaude, who sent me her new song!
