Rhodes, Greece

It is November in Europe, a
prospect that has always
made me shudder - or shiver if I am actually here.
This time though, I am in the
south eastern most corner of Europe, and
so help me indian summer arrived today. Cloudless sky, t-shirt
temperatures... can't beat it.

Have I mentioned that Rhodes is
chock full of cats?
Even by Greek standards I mean.

That brown wall is my hotel. My
actual window is about behind the tree.
The place is friendly with all the "mod cons" as they say, and superbly
located.
They could probably rake in 10 EUR more per night per guest if they
painted the place a more attractive color. I hope they don't; then I
would have to find someplace else cheap and good and well-located.
The Fountain Inside the Front Gate

And so as the world sinks slowly...

we wrap up another buncha pictures from
the very edge of the Aegean. From the tip of the island, about 15
minutes walk from my cafe table here, you can see more of Turkey than
of Greece. Let;s hear it for irony.
I'm leaving tomorrow evening by
ferry for Sitía in eastern Crete.
See y'all from there.
