Well, the season has arrived again and I've had my first real sadhu adventure of the year. Being with family always has it's rich rewards and challenges, but there is nothing like being alone and facing the world without anyone's coloring but my own.
On the last full day on the island—after almost 3 weeks of extravagant foods, luxurious accommodations, and nearing social overload—I decided to find my own way to enjoy this magical place. I grabbed my video camera and headed out by myself; no bus, car, restaurant, beach, or well beaten path could satisfy me. I took the direct route to the Aegean Sea: straight down the side of the cliff, over and around the rock walls which had been built by enslaved communists—free thinkers, artists, scientists, good people taking their creative energy and putting it into the rocks.

yay! thanks for the inside view on your travels...coroa and I just watched the vid. hope your feet are recovered...
my feet are getting better... i actually have footage of my sliced open toenail, but i excluded it because it was pretty raunchy; it would have been smart to bring shoes. the other thing is that there were all sorts of prickly plants everywhere and i now have at least a dozen little splinters in my hands and feet. it was worth it, though. actually, the best thing to have come from all of this was finding the music for the video. i have fallen in love with the song i used in the end... "Sinefiasmeni Kyriaki" ... i have already found two other versions of it and it almost makes me cry every time i hear it.
