Grant chilling out at lunch. Note his new
ankle tattoo. |
We visited the Monastery of Ag. Ioannis. It
was beautiful and about 4000 steps up the rock. |
Grant standing atop the rock, mere inches from
plummeting to the rocky sea far below. |
Grant made friends with a charming local
dog, named 'Daffy'. |
Here's the happy family, relieved after a
successful descent. |
Sooz and Grant at the beach at Limnonari. |
Here is our villa, 'Galazio', a lovely converted
barn at the end of a long, steep, rocky, winding dirt road. |
Don the pack horse. |
Grant admiring the vernacular architecture. |
A loving mommy and her adoring little boy. |
A jolly dad and his happy son. |
A closeup so you can see my almost-bushy beard. |
Here's a lovely pair of masts. And the sailboats
are nice too. |
Don and Grant floating their cares away. |
A beach taverna lunch every day. |
Sooz in a bikini, bringing me a beer. It
doesn't get much better than this! |
Grant and Sooz atop the rock overlooking Stafilos
beach. |
The charming vista of Skopelos Town, metropolis
of Skopelos. |
We went on a yacht for a day trip (how posh
is that!!) Don proudly wore his Man City colors (and he wasn't the only guy
on the island in a City shirt!!) |
Skipper Grant, on the lookout for dolphins.
And pirates. |
Gilligan and Maryann at the wheel. "If not
for the courage of the fearless crew..." |
The locusts were out in the millions, making
a lovely chirping noise to lull us to sleep. And to remind us to close
our screens. |
Grant is on the hydrofoil dock at Skiathos,
the island on which we landed, about 20 minutes from Skopelos. Quite touristy. |
Outside the taverna Agnondas in the town
of Glossa, near our villa. Great food and a lovely view. |
Don kept up his exercise routine by throwing
Grant a dozen times daily. Usually in the water. |
Here's Don next to one of his favorite things... |
...and Sooz with one of hers!
|
When in Rome.... |
Being a pale northerner, Don stayed in the
shade quite a lot. |
Not our Sooz, though! Beach Bikini Bingo!!! |
