Rhodes, Greece
I am thankful that here in Rhodes, Thanksgiving was just one more Thursday, with a
few good people on hand. I celebrated by listening to hours of music on end (mostly
Weather Report, with a bit of 70's Grateful Dead for dessert). The weekly street market
bore me mandarins, grapes(!), honey, a pair of jeans, these deceptively wimpy-looking
local pears that explode with juice and sweetness when you bite them, and a good greasy spoon
souvlaki pita for brunch.
A good lazy, partly rainy day; I even forbore to go up to the tip of the island
and observe Turkey. And today was a very ordinary Friday, with only the usual
spectrum of Aegean colors.
Hope everybody had a peaceful and happy Thanksgobbling in their own way!
My most frequent visitor in my room here in Rhodes.
Usually he curls up On my bed, but he also like the clothes cupboard and the tall wardrobe
where I stash my travel pack. So far, he has not brought any lions back out of the
wardrobe.
I don't know this cat. He (she?) hangs out up at the New Market complex in the New City,
where I get my weekly dose of The Economist and the occasional
New York Times.
Municipal Archaeology Museum
For six winters, I have walked past the Rhodes Archaeology Museum.
Recently, I put out my six euros, and went inside.
Some of the nicest parts of inside are actually outside, i.e. the museum gardens.
Bonus Section
I have already shown these last few shots on FaceBook, but that is no reason
for the rest of the world not to see them.
