Day 10 of our Greek adventure and I’ve only shared one days photos. It will need to be a long, newsy email later. Today is day 3 in the port town of Nafplio. Beautiful like all of Greece with great food, excellent wine and steps. Steps that will only make you stronger if they don’t cause cardiac stress. Tomorrow we head to Athens for full days of sighting seeing and home Tuesday. Look for me in the shop on Wednesday with sleepy eyes.
