#minuteofmonth No. 18, August, 2021. This month began in Rhode Island at my ancestral home, where, when we left, we stored the bulk of our things we are traveling with, including the car, and Amtrak-trained down to NYC for a blip (a blip of enough time to remember how great this city is). Then we flew to Athens, Greece, where we got a ride down to Leonidio, a village on the east coast of the Peloponnese, to spend three weeks with friends — and Scout — whom you will see a lot of in this minute. Towards the end of the month, after days eating so much good food, being introduced to tsipouro, swimming every day in the late afternoon, sometimes working, these benevolent friends hauled us off to the island of Hydra for a week where we met a new friend, a curator/artist who uses real space to show art, not just the blank white walls of a gallery, where art can breathe oxygen and be part of things. He’s a real spirit. A slow burn trickster who will always steer conversation back to something wonderfully absurd. He ushered us onto kaiki rides around the island and introduced us to yet another lovely human, someone who said many thoughtful things, always full of stories. And then there were the curator’s three dogs, especially Baracudaki, my soul sister. She’s a little scoundrel but I fell in love. But keep her away from the cats . . . Originally posted on:
