I'm on the boat to Samos, trying to catch up with my thoughts and feelings after a couple of weeks lived with my whole body and soul.
What I feel now is a bit of loneliness — the least one could expect after such an intense social activity. But it is a good opportunity for recovering energies and preparing the Turkey trip. And update the blog :-)
I'm sorry, but I think that this post will be appreciated — almost — only by few of you, namely the participants of the 1993 El Harén mission.
Walking the same streets after 15 years make me feel like as no time had passed — although it was the other century — and at the same time I know that I'm a completely different person (eg: I don't feel anymore the urge of climbing that headless statue, yet I can't stop laughing my a** off remembering the museum guard getting mad at us!)
And that wind (I still have sand in my mouth after three days). So I had to take this photos also, although the lack of our friends makes me a bit melancholic.
You can find more photos of Greece here.

Oh! my dear Pi!
Memories, memories... el Harén, las Locas, the Meltemi, the brightest falling star ever seen, the hot dry weather and the "loutraki"; dangerous bus rides and strange old greeks.
Sunsets on ferries and sunrises in tents (or Hosetels in Santorini). Culture, tunafish and the Patrasso McDonald; lost money and dodgy mopeds.
Just a great holiday.
Thanks for bringing back the memory!
CIAO
It would be great if you could scan those pictures (haren, altalena, Andrea on the statue) and send them to me.
Thanks.
Dear Pi,
those pictures are unfortunatelly in TV in my messy bedroom (you know).
Sorry but no scan available from UK
You´ll need to wait until Xmas!
PS still raining here!

You look very good, and I see your trip is going throught memories too. Even if I didn't in greece, I can feel some emocion remembering your '93 experiece.
A great hug from Valentina too.
don't worry i didn't forget what you asked to me.
