../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200234 before Ben swam in ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200235 and

../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200240 ad Ed read next to him until we decided it was time to make our way. ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200241

Our next stop was in the town of Kardamila where we noted the memorial ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200242 and the old home ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200243 off the town square ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200244 as Suzanne used the public water ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200245 before this construction worker ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200246 who felt I needed to take a picture of his friend advertising Amstel Light ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200247 before we recorded the hiking trails nearby ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200248 and the narrow streets of the town ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200249 before buying some Magnums (ice cream treats) in the local cafe. ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200250 Our next stop was in Lagada where there were many tavernas and ships along the waterfront ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200251 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200252 and views back up the hills of the defense fortresses ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200253 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200254 as we sat on the beach in various configurations and watched the town ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200255 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200256 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200257 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200258 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200259 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200260 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200261

From Lagada, we went to Pitios which claims to be the birthplace of Homer and also is home to quite a fortress. After recording many views of the town church ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200262 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200263 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200264 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200265 we headed to the fortress ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200266 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200267 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200268

below (the one drove that gave me vertigo while on the island) ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200271 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200272 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200273 and Ed began a climb to the top of the fortress ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200274 while we kept the valley in check

confirmed that there was no entry ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200277 so we made our way to the town ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200278 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200279 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200280 and away from the tower ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200281 which was expensive to maintain ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200282 and from afar quite impressive. ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200283 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200284 We recorded the signage ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200285 including an upside down caution sign (never a good sign) ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200286 and the local donkey ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200287 as we made our way to the taverna Makellos which had been recommended to us. ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200288 After bread ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200289 water ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200290 Greek salad

../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200295 and saganacki, ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200296 Suzanne and Ed ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200297 and Sarah were satisfied ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200298 but Ben and I ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200299 thought it was necessary to buy another dish. ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200300 ON our way out of town, we admired the memorial and then headed home to Volissos ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200301 where we made our way to our local fortress

valley below ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200304 as the camera battery died ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200305 but could be replaced in time to capture some sunset ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200306 and many views ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200307 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200308 ../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200309

small street where we had to turn around on the first night (and to see if there was an easy way through Volissos).

../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200314 and these photos of Sarah and Ed

../../../Sabbat/2008/06.24-07.03.08Greece/06.30.08TheBeachesOfNorthernChios//P1200317 we headed back to our villa where I recorded my ever growing collection of labels.
