Dear All,

I wanted for a change to share a video I made from Meteora, a UNESCO heritage site in Thessaly, Greece.

The region consists of a multitude of limestone rocks, and 6 functional monasteries/nunneries built on top of these rocks.

There used to be 20 monasteries back in the XVIII century, but due to earthquakes, and many other factors, many of them ceased to exist, and some have been converted into nunneries.

There are also two hermit caves, still in use for those, who want to lead a more reclusive, religious lifestyle.

I recommend travelling to Meteora and visiting the monasteries. Most of them have beautiful icons, which can be admired, but not photographed. Also, it is important to remember that women are supposed to wear long skirts or dresses, when entering a monastery. They give shawls for covering, but it’s better to have your own clothing.

WW2 Stories from our Greek neighbor

Our neighbor is a Crete man through and through. His family has lived in Crete for generations and when I asked him how many generations his family has lived on this island, he told me: forever.

One of two full-size ancient Greek bronzes discovered in 1972 off the western coast of Calabria in southern Italy. The statue, cast circa 460-450 BC, stands 198 cm (78 in) tall. The lips and nipples are made of copper, the teeth are silver and the eyes formed from calcite. At one time this bronze warrior held a spear and shield, but they were never found. The figure may also have worn a wreath around his head. ( Photography by Luigi Spina. )
