I knew right then I was going to love Greece. But sadly he is now more a Dennis than a Dionysus - married, three children and living in New York.

As the big freeze sets in - though the days are stupendously blue and bright - we remember the bathes with ever more gladness.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-59854703050673326772016-11-29T21:32:33.295+00:002016-11-29T21:32:33.295+00:00Ah, fond memories for me of our own visit to Nafpl...Ah, fond memories for me of our own visit to Nafplio some years ago. Our hotel room had a view of that Venetian fortress, and I am sure we walked on the very same path. We were there in the springtime, and the wildflowers were stupendous. Nice to see November yields up treasures, too.

And we won't even mention our driver Dionysius - though he said we could call him Dennis. I preferred the former it seemed more appropriate. Again you are taking me on a wonderful journey - 1000 grazie.Willymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.com
