taking a breather in Tolo

Our hotel is quite literally on the waterfront, and one of the nicest we've stayed at. Today was our last free day (tomorrow is Mycenae and Epidaurus, thence to Olympia)and some of us went and tasted lovely Greek wines from the Agiorgitiko grape this morning while others hung out on the beach reading Aeschylus, with wonderful high-mindedness, or perhaps desperation, for the next class tomorrow. The view from our balcony is stunning - clear blue water, rugged hills and fishing boats. I will miss Greece very much when we have to leave. It's really my favourite place in the world bar none.
