My last day in Paros was perfect. In the morning I went to the studio early and played my Holiday playlist as I unstapled and rolled up my canvases. It was quiet, peaceful, and reflective. Slowly everyone else arrived to start their shutdowns as well. John arranged at the last minute a farewell luncheon in Lefkes, a mountain town that was the start of most of our hikes. We sat in the Greek sun, drank wine, watched the Aegean and the mountains, ate saganaki, spinach fritters, greek salad, meatballs, and finished with yogurt drenched in greek honey. Laughter, beauty, companionship and good food. How bad can that be? With my packing mostly under control I wandered to the harbor and sat at my favorite spot and had tea and watched this sunset. But wait…there’s still more….
