Just before falling sleep, I came across a quote attributed to Saint Augustine, one I had never seen before. The very next day, while on vacation and aimlessly wandering the streets of Thasos, a quiet little island in the Aegean, I saw those same words inscribed on these steps.

Buongiorno! It’s one of the few Italian words I know, but it’s a real pleasure to greet the locals each morning with such a cheerful phrase.

We love beautiful Roma and Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the first churches built to celebrate the Virgin Mary in 431 A.D.
We just missed Pope Leo by 30 minutes. He was at the church to bless an icon of the Virgin Mary. The tomb of Pope Francis is located inside the church.

Kastoria, Greece, known for its Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches. The city once had 72 churches with 54 having survived to the present day. They date from the 9th - 19th centuries. Only one bar in town though and it's pretty new.

Celebrating the harmony of sunlight and darkness, and the return of these beautiful wildflowers. Weeds too, some of which are just as beautiful as the diva wildflowers. Happy Easter!

I can’t decide which is more beautiful, the tulips or my wife's new vase.

Meteora, masses of rocks, sand and sediment carried by a river and deposited in the ancient lake of Thessaly 25 million years ago. There once stood 24 Greek Orthodox monasteries. Just 6 now. Today we visited 4 of them. The rocks are amazing look at up close and also from far away. A sacred place.
