Dear J&J, We are here in Greece! Been a week now on
Patmos. We came via Athens, but spent only an evening and
a day there (one night). Visited the Acropolis and a few
other sights, but had to catch a ferry.
It's beautiful here. We're in Hora, a cluster of stone
buildings around the Monastery of St. John, which
dominates the high point. It's a rabbit warren of stone
passageways. Ariadne could make a fortune. We're learning,
though, just by being adventurous.
Our house has a great view of the Aegean. We have our
own courtyard, complete with two lemon trees heavy with
fruit. Upstairs. Downstairs. You should visit!
This is a working trip, so we're spending four to five
hours writing each day. Things come at their own pace,
even so. We still have two months before we head back.
Love from Patmos,
Sam and Sally
