eye-candy monday

View from on high, the Theatre at Epidarus.

I imagine you're wondering if I still think about Greece, and if I have any more to reveal about our trip earlier this summer. Well yes, for good or for ill, I have one, maybe even two more installments on the Greek travelouge in the pipes. And I do think about it a lot. About what being there meant for me and did to me. Just about being there. It still feels present, if a lifetime ago. For today, though. Just a photo or two, from the early part of our trip.

Quintessential Greek. Blue-checked baklava.

A view you'd never tire of...this was what we saw from our room in Porto Heli, home to Neel's conference.

This is not your daddy's scientific meeting...it was a lot more fun! During the day, our Greek hosts would scout out local restaurants (and do some taste-testing...tough job, huh?) for the group to attend each evening. The dinner surprise was one of my favorite parts of the meeting. I can get paralyzed with indecision, always wondering if something better is just around the bend. But here! Here, we got on a bus, and got off the bus at this lovely spot.

On these nights, my hardest decision was the wine: red or white (and wouldn't you know, I still changed my mind!).

This was a night hued in terracotta. The wine jugs, the candles, the very light. In a country known for it's deep blues, from the onion-domed houses to the wine-dark sea, these oranges were a warm complement. (Get it, Neel? Complement? Har, Har, Har. A little science humor there, the geek rubs off on me too!)

Callum's up and my quiet time is done! After a hectic weekend, Monday is catch-up day around here. Grocery store, some errands, and Underdog while Neel's at a late meeting. I hear it's a real tear-jerker, right Shoshana?

Just to clarify, I said it made me want to cry, not that it was a tear-jerker:) I was really kidding though, because I actually enjoyed it. That may just be because I'm not getting enough adult interaction and I'm emotionally regressing! I'm headed out to dinner tonight with an adult friend, which is dearly needed!!! By the way, I Love the Greece pictures and all the pictures that you put on the blog.

Long live complement! Especially if it gets us to Greece every few years.
