Last Sunset
The title is a mouth
full but it was a full, last day of our holiday. Hot yet again, 40C!! Got ourselves fed &
organized. Chris attended the Greek National Changing of the Guards – she was
really impressed with the uniforms, precision drill and the music. Bernie
attended church service at St Paul’s Anglican Episcopal. A very catholic
worship, an enlightening and moving sermon especially. Bit of packing then off
for our last adventure. A ninety minute bus ride along the southeast coast of
the Athens area. Met Panos a Greek Canadian, who obtained his university
education at the U of A in Edmonton!
What a small world! Gave us lots
of tips about where we were headed, great visit about Greece, Canada & the
world in general. End of the line at the Temple of Poseidon. The view from the
ruins was worth the ride out alone. Met a kind, charming couple, Constantinos
& Olivia. Had a great visit, chat about Greece, Canada and the state of affairs
in the world. Dropped us off at the
beach – yesterday Piraeus was nice; today this one was heavenly! What a treat! All too soon it was time to head
back. A rather long (2 hour) ride back into Athens but the view along the way,
capped by another blazing sunset was a fitting cap to our day & our
trip. Finished off our packing and … the
long flight (Athens, London, Toronto finally Regina!) awaits. If jet lag &
fatigue will allow we’ll post once we get our Saskatchewan bearings again. Hope
you’ve enjoyed the ride … we certainly did.
“An ending,” which as
Doughty said “… is just the beginning
for the next adventure.”
