Since I last wrote I've been through another space and landlord that didn't work out. It was a restaurant where the tenant had been evicted. The place was a mess - the tenant left all their junk, broken glass was on the floor and it was dark and dingy. It was workable but expensive to fix up. Apparently there were two owners and one liked my requested rent rate but the other didn't. There have been days that I wanted to abandon this project, but then I know I would never forgive myself.

Page, AZ… the lower Canyon
All I could say while visiting both upper and lower Antelope Slot Canyon was “phenomenal”… as truly I was left speechless by the wonders that Mother Nature truly outdoing herself on this both occasions.
A bit of a rough ride due to some heavy winds going in, sailing with ease coming up… one makes up for the extra fuel used the other way! I guess!
Page is a busy town…

Greek Lessons at Maria’s House

The first time I dined at Maria’s house, I made the grave mistake of asking her where she got the phyllo dough for her fantastic hortapita (a combination of wild and cultivated greens). She went into the kitchen and returned with a dowel (thin rolling pin) and waived it over my head. I had just moved to Crete and had much to learn.

Elounda is a little village and everyone knows where you are and when. Maria extended an open invitation...

Is it winter… again?
33 degrees a few miles up the road, dark clouds and much rain yesterday… but it looks like all will change tomorrow when we head out soon (I like to use that word!… no time frame…) to the “Antelope Slot Canyon” in Page, by Lake Powell. We are looking forward to it… Spirit will stay behind for a couple hours under the watchful eyes of the Lady that books the Tours as no one is
