Pylos
Just a short message about today. Pylos was today’s visit. There’s two ancient sites about 30 minutes away by car, so we skipped those to check out a huge Byzantine castle just on the edge of town…too bad it was closed on Mondays! It was a wonderful little town to visit, though. There is an incredible cemetery here and I felt bad for being there because it was incredibly peaceful, and I felt like an insensitive American. The crypts were all very well maintained; no one is forgetting their loved ones after they’ve passed on, here. Prior to that we visited a supermarket. I couldn’t believe how much fun I had looking at things and finding things to buy. That was a blast. I’ve got some pictures up on my Facebook site, so if you’re a friend of mine I encourage you to check them out. I don’t have any captions yet, but hopefully they follow the things I’ve written about here enough to make sense. Tomorrow is a sea-day, so no stops s0 we’re planning to work all day. Maybe I’ll get a chance to add some captions to the pics.
