Farewell ...

... for now. Here are pictures from our final dinner together on June 11, at Vizantino in the Plaka. Plans for a reunion dinner at the Plaka Taverna in Madison are already in the works. Bring your earplugs!

Greece, Part 2

• June 4: National Archaeological Museum, evening departure for Santorini
  
• June 5-7: Free weekend in Santorini
  
• June 8: Day trip to Delphi and Osios Loukas (temperature over 100 degrees!)
  
• June 9: Day trip to Aegina (temperature over 100 degrees again!)
  
• June 10: Free day, farewell dinner at Psara's, concert of music by Mikis Theodorakis and poetry by Giannis Ritsos at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus
  
• June 11: Final class meeting and final dinner together in the Plaka

Leaving their mark: adding a "W" (just left of the door) to the graffiti in Oia.
