Ios part 3

Same chair, same restaurant, same cup of tea

Yasas

   Here’s the final email about Ios and the next to last one about Greece.  But that one will have to wait for Sicily unless the weather turns bad and we stay here one more day.  If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, it will be in 3 or 4 days from now in Sicily.

Looking back from my walk along the island path; we’re right in the harbor town much too near the bakery which is the shop with the brown oblong sign.  They make great “real” donuts and giant gingerbread cookies.

I walked to the church and found a path that lead along the coast.

Looking back to the harbor from the church patio entrance; very lovely spot

The path looked as if it went a good distance around the island.

Making myself walk back to town; I could have stayed out for hours but Randal would have sent out the police wondering if I’d fallen off the cliff edge.
