So, my Nest just gave me this as a memory, and I have *no* clue where I was when I took it. Sigh. (A big % of my photos are of Minoan sites, and maybe the floor/steps going up and between could be, but the walls are wrong.)

Narrow passage of steps/stairs between sheer rock walls

Here's a thing I learned: when your phine shuts off from a dead battery and you charge it and turn it back on, it may not automatically know the day/date. And then it says there is no signal to your perfectly good home internet. So, pro tip, I guess! Here's an unrelated sunset in Crete.

Sunset over a small harbor, a small crane visible (of the boat lifting sort, not bird)

Did you know that there is a pleasing, small museum upstairs at the Athens airport? Follow the signs to Burger King;)

Ancient Falassarna (sometime Ph..), classical, Helenistic and Roman port town, western Crete. They are actively working on surrounding houses, temples, an acropolis, etc.

Lovely visit to a remote Minoan town, Zominthos , further down the road from Anogia. Made possible, so far inland, by springs.

We did a quick trip to Iraklion to see a special exhibit of old, Archaeological photos (some as old as the 1860s), and stopped in the main bldg to say hello to some old friends. I have a replica of her at home in Austin.

We did a day trip to Athens to see the new Pylos exhibit at the National Archaeological Museum (NAM, now HNAM for some reason) and it was excellent and now I want to go back to Pylos. Preferably with our friends from Wales ;) Here's the Combat Agate. It's about the size of a large thumb.

The seaside in Pachia Ammos; 3 scenes from Gournia, still my favorite place on Earth.

Sea, sandy beach, rock walls, mountains behind

My favorite supporting character from the Odyssey. (Check out the name of the pilot's boat.)

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

End of the season (for us, and only 2 nights left for them) at Galileo, our favorite bar/restaurant in the Old Harbor. Our friend Manolis in the dark distance.

Cocktail and beer on a table with the lights of Old Town Chania across the way.

Odd cloud in the east tonight, over Chania. Well, southeast, I guess.

You’d think we’d be getting rain here in Chania, wouldn’t you? But apparently not. All these looking north from town.
