Rhodes, Greece
Back in Calif for almost two months now. I've been scanned and, scoped,
postponed my return to Europe at a Dr's request. On the upside, the
delay got me a great afternoon of live acoustic music, with friends
whom I see all too rarely since I started wandering.
Let's get one last round of Rhodes pictures out, before I hit the
road again on Wednesday.
The moon and Venus over the Old City
The little tower at the St Paul gate. I'm a sucker for this one, reflected
in a corner of Kolona Harbor, and enhanced to make a feature of all the
microgunk in the water.
This thick old biggus ficus tree sits by the patio of a
seasonal restaurant in the old city. I dunno what the rope around it is for.
Perhaps it once had a reason to be there, and hasn't since had a reason to
be anywhere else.
As usual, a round of harbor views.
The aquarium, seen from the north end of Mandraki Harbor.
The medieval hospital is now the Archeological Museum. Here is a peek
through into the museum gardens, through a side gate, from Street of
the Knights.
Christmas decorations on a Mandraki windmill. Yes, it has been
that long since I've posted pictures.
The little spire of St Spyridon's Byzantine church.
That is it for this round of Rhodes, and a procrastinated piece of
work it is. I hope it brings pleasure enough.
I'm outta here
Wednesday evening, with an overnight near Zurich airport, and May Day weekend
in Madrid.
(Note to self: reserve lodging in Madrid, and
figure out what to do after that!)
Here we go again!
