That's really cool, John.

When my dad was in the army and he was stationed in Germany the first time (before I was born), he got to visit Greece and had a few pictures taken at the Acropolis. :)

And I got an aisle seat for the long leg of the trip.

That's great!

It’s deceptive. We leave Athens at 11:50 am. Arrive in Washington at 3:45 pm.

Another miracle of modern technology!

I went into countless markets on this trip looking for Krocus tea, specifically a silver-labeled version. It’s herbal tea made with saffron.

At the airport in duty-free, I found two other versions of the tea. One has mint and lemongrass in addition to saffron. The other has ginger, licorice and saffron.

I read 150 pages on this trip. A little less than 300 to go.

Dried fava beans, zucchini, all sorts of sweet peppers, cucumbers and the ripest, juiciest tomatoes.
