Lovely! Have a wonderful time, CC!
Cordie, hope your recovery is going well!
Cafecreme, good luck to you on your trip.
I’m hiding from the summer heat in Marbella, Spain and just came to London for a day to pick up my daughter who just returned from a camp outside New York.
She said, a girl from Paris received some award there for travelling the furthest to the camp. When my daughter mentioned that she came from Dubai which is even further, somebody said that North Dakota is not further than Paris
)
My poor girl tried to explain where Dubai is. Near Saudi Arabia - no, they don’t understand. Middle East? No idea. Ok, Iraq? That sounds familiar, but no. In the end, she gave up and said she was from Africa.

That’s pathetic. Africa woukd stll have been further than Paris. Were there no educated facilitators? How embarrassing.

Oh my, what an embarrassing indictment of the American educational system [emoji85] but I hope your daughter had a wonderful time at camp nevertheless!
A few more snaps from my trip, feat. the island of Paros. I’m loving it here because it’s so much less touristy than Mykonos or Santorini since it’s not on the cruise ship circuit. Lots of Greeks and Europeans come here to get away. The food everywhere in Greece is my favorite - everything is so fresh and simple and delicious.
Good grief, we are ignorant here in the US. Middle East, Midwest, Paris Texas, Arabian Nights, long ago and far away....? She should get the prize for most gracious.Cordie, hope your recovery is going well!

Went to Antiparos today! Ended up being a production to get there that took two hours and involved two buses, a ferry and lots of waiting. But this beach was so gorgeous that it was worth it. Followed up by a casual dinner. 
LOL. Your daughter is smart and witty like her mom!Cordie, hope your recovery is going well!

You look fabulous! Thanks for the lovely pics. Keep them coming since I am living vicariously through you, haha!
Some more gratuitous photos!
The food is incredible here. Have yet to have a bad meal in Greece. The yogurt is the most divine I’ve ever tasted, and the honey is freshly pressed from honeycombs in a machine here, with fresh blackberry marmalade. Also eating tons of fresh veggies. I forgot how food was meant to taste!
