“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

Many life experiences have led me to this place and time… join me as I spend a summer in a small village in Greece where generations of my family have lived and where I now hope to put down a few roots. Along my journey I will write letters to you to share my experiences and hopefully inspire you to create your own wherever you live or travel…

Deenya

No Greek blog is complete without a Greek cat. There are tons of strays in the village. Two years ago we claimed a soon to be Mom (who we named Katina) and later her litter of kittens. Katina lived with her kittens in one of our outbuildings. This year we have a mother (Given the name Sweetie Pie by Kolya) and her kitten Deenya (also named by Kolya). Deenya is just about independent now and Sweetie Pie seems to check on her from time to time. Deenya has moved into the cellar of our house and sleeps curled up on an old bed used in the past for summertime naps. She makes her way in and out through a secret cat-sized passageway.

Letters From Arfara

About

I am a wife, mother and artist living in the Boston area. My adventurous spirit is taking me to a small village in Greece this summer to experience my heritage, a closer bond with my son, creative freedom and anything else that comes my way. Friends and family will join me along the way and I hope you’ll join me too through this blog…
