The next morning came very quickly but was accompanied by juice fruit and a croissant before I got to Athens airport with enough time to take the obligatory phone booth picture before I got to the Hotel Akrotiri and took these pictures of the bathroom and the room before heading down to the snack bar to get this water and join Szymon and Benedict Matt Mike and Tim and take this self portrait before heading to the archaeological site where we saw the various storage bins that Andreas maintains and as we explored conversations ensued as we saw more before heading back to the lab and watching scanning begin

Back at the hotel, I admired the scenery as Szymon and Tim thought out the strategy and this sailboat perched in the sea causing us to begin the walk to the Red Beach where the snack bar gave us a direction before we reached the beach as Ben and Matt considered going in while I was admired the backdrop and then took some pictures of the water coming in and the background followed by more water and more backgrounds focusing on the ocher as the ancients must have done when constructing the frescoes. Meanwhile, Matt did his sugar cookie thing to assure he went back into the water. Sitting on the porch watching the sea pass by, I had a local beer as the sailboat perched and I recorded the bus stop sign and the signs of the local snack bar.

After a long drive that ended in town, we found the Nicholas restaurant where all were prepared for a good meal chosen from the specials of the day and involving appetizers a lovely vegetarian disk consisting of artichokes and potatoes and chicken among other entrees.
