It feels like a lifetime since we were able to spend time abroad safely. I love Greece. There is something in the atmosphere there that is very special. The sound of a distant outboard engine. The smell of arid landscape. The sound of crickets in the dry grass. The wide-open space. The warmth of the sun and the wonderful dryness of the heat. The deserted inlets. The sparkling crystal clear water. The ever-changing refraction of the sea urchins, spotting the rocky seabed with points of pure black.
