Days 4 and 5 - Long, Long Ago

This was just over a month ago, but since then … Dallas, Baton Rouge, the attempted coup in Turkey, the G.O.P. unConvention starring Michelle Obama, Lucifer, a juiced up Giuliani, a returned from the dead Chris Christie, the Trump half-siblings, and a liberal sprinkling of lies.  So back to June, a simpler time.

In Lipsi I wasn't too thrilled

With the menu choice  - octopus, grilled

But they were delicious,

With a few other dishes

Our palates satisfied, stomachs filled.

Followed by a stop at a wonderful local bakery for dessert, and then a walk back to the boat under a full moon.

Arki has 40 inhabitants.  We walked by an unfinished compound enclosed by a stone wall.  It was planned as a luxury eco-tourism retreat near a quiet cove.  The view of the sea was blocked by the wall and the only guests were some sheep, not known for splurging on expensive vacations.

On Arki there's not much to report

But an unfinished Eco resort 

A stone walled compound 

Closed to beauty around

And abandoned when money got short.
