Monday 19 September 2011
We woke up and had a blender drink and coffee, then watered the garden, pulled the dead vines from the tomato plants, painted a vase, table and icon, then had faba beans and grilled cheese sandwiches on the terrace, but the bees got to us so we went inside.
After some music we went to Artemis' temple where we hiked down to a gorgeous ravine leading to a hidden cove above which stood the ruins of the ancient temple. Dian jumped in the rough water thinking she was joining some other swimmers. When she got pretty far out she saw that bobbing "heads" weren't humans but bouys. Then she heroically (befitting the Goddess Artemis/Diana) swam back in (to applause of those watching on the beach). We had a tour of the top of the island before descending to Robyn and David's.
David made pork chops on the hearth with baked potatoes, Greek salad, and homemade apple sauce. We ate by the light of the lantern. Finally, Charles read three chapters of Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson aloud.

| Robyn describes the Greek sunsets as being old and wise. They're not flashy like you might find in Miami or the Caribbean. |
