“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…

This beautiful modern museum is packed with an enormous collection of terra cotta, glass and bronze artifacts as well as many partial and almost complete marble statues. We saw everything from jewelry and pottery to ornately painted cornices and punched metal details. The artistry of every object was astounding.

I love that her belly was a thing of beauty...

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…
