when she cast her eye on/Argive Heraion on our early morning walk to Mycenae; The stern Snake Goddess With her billowing bodice And that domineering stare: We saw her a priestess / or even a goddess But what's with that cat in her hair? |

On the midnight deck of a luxury wreck Of a ferry going to Iraklion. He would strum his guitar Seelig harmonizing from afar Together they sang quite a medley-- Oasis and Beatles / Tom Petty and Dylan-- But their minds were always on Pedley |

No one ever gets tired Always eager to follow Don't incur the wrath of silver Apollo; With Angie Woodard our guide Explaining Knossos frescoes with pride, She identified the Minoan's bird As the swallow |

He sought the grave of Kazantzakis. This man's quite a mime, As an andra he's so fine Andros suffers from no parakalosis; He's friends with the gods Quite divine--'gainst all odds-- And exudes divinity by osmosis |

That Danielle looked swell When she put her face in / A lustral basin With make-up or without it; At Akrotiri a report she gave Theory of Thira, Knossos drowned in a wave, All the facts fit, the report was a hit, And nary a reason to doubt it. |

the Blues Brothers were last sighted in this Santorini café,
having stolen clothing from the impeccably bearded Grayson Flitcroft and
Tony Andros
Gallery:
our first group program lunch, Santorini (April)
at Cesare's, clockwise from front left: Kristi, Angela, Brenda, Danielle,
Jörgen,
Lindsay, Michael, Jordan, Tony, Grayson
just ignore those green and dark brown bottles in the middle-
Jörgen Ernstson, our archaeologist of the Bronze Age, ordered
them
try some of this? Tony offers, while Grayson grins and Brenda + Jörgen
look on
guess it wasn't as good as it looked! but all is well, Kristi and Angie
are smiling a
moment later. Now why did Angela put that squishy tomato down Kristi's
back?
just one of the many permutations of Tony Andros' beard. Believe it
or not,
he shaved the other side off. The irrepressible Danielle Sorensen smiled
alot,
which helped keep us all in a good mood
Jordan Johnson enjoyed particularly good digestion during the trip.
This eupeptic quartet, frankly, ate like horses the entire time
