Happy view from the ridge near my cabin

Here is Nick sampling the wood.

Nicholas performing at a recital his own original piece!

Madeleine carrying Nicholas! The kids had so much fun while Kristine fed us soup and pie!

Traveling is fun, the extended family is fun but we missed Natasha and the dogs and our friends!

The view of Meteora was spectacular and here we are eating at Mallioras the best Kontosouvli in all of Greece. Turns out our friend and the owner are friends and so he opened just for us at 4:15! and here is Mr Mallioras! Whom it turns out is a good friend of some friends of my family!

An amazing adventure with my son!

And here we learn how marble was blocks were kept together with clamps

How the drums of the columns were aligned

And here we discovered a clamp location that we confirmed with the help of Ms Mamidaki!

Photos at the finish of the marathon. 6th in 7 years in Athens. Set a new personal PR for my age. I will set a new one next year!

And later that evening my annual family get together and a picture of everyone

A picture of my dad holding court with his adoring elder sister.

She is an amazing woman. And he is an amazing man. In a different era her career achievements might have been the equal of his. Within her more constrained environment she did amazing things.
