Greek Isle of Schoinousa

By -
Schinoussa, a tiny island in the Small Cyclades, is cherished for its authenticity, simplicity, and unspoilt beaches.
We have reservations at The Deli Restaurant which has no menu and cooks what is in season and available at the time.
   
 This is our boat, the Albatross. Captain Rita has been sailing for a long time and has taken very good care of this boat and the people aboard. 
We eat at Deli Restaurant which is a shorter version of the owners name. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. Family style dinner with local fresh vegetables and meats.
Last night we had:
   Two types of Greek salads
   Tomato, zucchini and spinach pies
   Spinach ravioli
   Shrimp and noodles 
   Veal and potatoes, meatballs and chicken
Rob and Rebecca met a couple from Seattle Washington. They invited us to their boat which was over a 100 feet long and had four crew and a captain. Fancy.
We swam and paddleboarded through the small caves while Rob and Rebecca jumped off the cliffs.

Blowing My Mind

Items that I have collected,  in no particular order,  that  BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Earth is just 1 of 3.2 trillion planets in our galaxy. The Sun is just 1 of 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is just 1 of the 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. It takes light 100,000 years to cross an average size galaxy.  Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen  2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat....

Mid-Atlantic Backroad Discovery Route MABDR

The BDR is a motorcycle route that goes from Damascus Virginia to the New York State border. Some of the travel is on two laneroads, while other is on Forest Service gravel roads. I started in Damascus which is a great little town the Appalachian trail goes through. You can see my bike on the right.  the Appalachian trail and the Mid-Atlantic BDR slowly meander back and forth through the country. I've met a couple guys that were hiking all the way non-stop.  This is a well photographed gap that is fun to go through.  Sceenic overlook that I turned around for.  This was taken off a dirt road. I stopped and took this photo and then a hiker appeared out of nowhere. She scared me pretty good.  First night camping. Hard to sleep when you don't have your favorite body pillow and covers.

Mount Rainier July 28, 2024

 Mount Rainier is an active volcano located in Washington. Wildflower meadows circle the icy volcano in July and August while ancient forests cover the lower slopes. We walked up the section that is called Paradise which is famous for its gorgeous views and wildflowers.  While we were in Paradise in July, the area is known for its winter activities. You will find people snowshoeing, cross country skiing and sledding.  We flew into Seattle and met Rob and Rebecca then headed on a drive to Mt. Rainier.  We did see the top of Rainier, but its low cloud cover was typical for the day. Rob, Rebecca (R2), Tam and Bob The walk was up hill for a while and this old guy was hurting the next day.  I have no information about the cabin located in the bottom of the beautiful valley.  The flowers looked like they were professionally grown.  The waterfalls were scattered all through the walk. So pretty and full of life.  We even saw some wildlife.
