A very sweet day





Hello-Today was a lovely and relaxing one. I slept a lot last night, woke up and missed my bus for a tour of the island (the travel agency actually hadn't scheduled my stop) so came back and took a nap. After my nap still feeling a bit crampy I wandered around the old town and the Kastro (castle) of Naxos. This place was built by the Venetians and is still inhabilited today. There are concerts during tourist season. I went back toniht to see two guitarists play together and it was so romantic. There was a cool ocean breeze, wine, great lighting, and the stage was against the wall of the Kastro. The wall is made of orignial materials of original greek settlers and contains granite from an altar (I think to Athena). At any rate it is a heavy wall. I am back home and ready to go to bed after such a relaxing evening. Naxos is wonderful and the gentleman who served the wine said to taste them all...like we are at a party with friends. So I did and prefer the white wine to the citrine (like vodka) Good night!
