Fiona - Karina's sweet neighbor, who lives above the taverna. I see her most days walking to or from work. I thought she matched the bougainvillea behind her.
Naoussa at sunset from across the bay, near the lighthouseI have found my favorite walk - every day I walk east along the shore towards the lighthouse (two hours there and back). I pass this spot every time, and almost every time try to capture an image of it. This is the best I can do with my crappy, little camera.
I woke up this morning at 5AM, and headed to the taverna. Since I now have a key, it gives me access to the computer before the restaurant opens. I have been working the last few days creating a spreadsheet for Karina's Taverna (Karina still does all her finances in little notebooks). I have put hours into it these last few days - ironing out the kinks in all the formulas, and inputing data from the last two years, so Karina can do some economic analyses. It has been very satisfying giving something back to Karina and Georgios after all their generosity (also, I really love spread sheets). After a couple hours of Excel formula writing this morning, I needed a break and went for a long snorkel. While swimming I saw a little sunken boat resting on the sea floor. Then during my walk this evening, at the place where I turn around, I noticed how attractive this beached boat was in the sunset light. Sunken boat and beached boat - the beginning and end of my day - could be metaphors for something, but I don't know. I am just happy and appreciative to still be "afloat."
