Fall Equinox In Greece

Wow, where has the summer gone? This week is coming upon the Fall Equinox on Wednesday, September 22. Equinox means "equal" as in equal day and equal night. And it symbolizes balance as it always falls on the day when the sun enters Libra, the sign of balance. The Fall Equinox serves as a reminder that the masculine energies symbolized by the Sun and the feminine energies symbolized by the Moon become equal partners. So as always Mother Nature reminds us to look within and ponder....

Are we living our life in balance? Is there equal balanced juiciness in our spiritual life and our physical life? Are we living in harmony with who we truly are?





After our time on the island of Corfu, we sailed down to the island of Paxos for the night. It is the picturesque little island that claims it's fame to the best olive oil in the world. Rumor has it that Harrods only buys it's olive oil from here and it's the only oil the Queen Mother will use.




We don't know what is true but we hunted down the funky little hovel of a warehouse with it's huge barrels of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Richard asked the owner if it was true that Extra Virgin Olive Oil came from really, really ugly olives!!!!! Haha, get it? Of course we bought our fair share of oil. And we bet that you are wondering if it is the best and we can only wonder with you. It is good- very good, but the best--how would we ever know?

Back in our favorite cove nestled among the mainland and the islands of Levkas and Meganisi we have spent a couple of fun nights socializing (which is quite uncharacteristic of solitary us) with Pamela and Graham-- a couple of special Brits who also claim this cove as home. Their further claim to fame is that they had an award winning restaurant in England. And we can say without a doubt that our best meal this summer was cooked for us by Graham aboard their boat. How lucky and blessed have we been by our short friendship with them. Thank you Guys.....




We spent a few rainy, blustery days at a little port on the island of Meganisi. Walking up in the authentic Greek village we took photos of the clusters of grapes growing high on the overhead trellises of everyone's porch.

Then once again we came back to our favorite cove and here we will be for Equinox and full moon the day after. This will be our second full moon here in this wonderful cove and then alas, we need to move on. It is still warm and sunny (mid 80's) but chilly at night. We are still swimming, sunning and snorkeling--living like castaways on our own little island barely combing our hair and dressing up in our sarongs when we need to dress at all. Yes, we are savoring each and every moment of it!!!! .
