Today I'd share a video my mother took of Ithaca a couple of months ago. It's the Greek island I've spent about a third of my life on. In this video my mother takes you on a little scenic tour through a few of the island's villages, from up in the mountains, down to the main village, and through a few of the smaller villages.
PS: That's my mum on the left at 3:57, and my step father on the right at 4:02. At 5:07, that's my uncle gulping down the espresso like a shot of vodka in the cafebar he owns. I worked there as a waitress for about 3 years, from 19 to 21 years old. At 6:03, it's my aunt, my step father's sister. At 11:45 are her kids, twin boys. :o)
This is also where I'm holding the writers' retreat next year :o) http://hwrw.blogspot.com/
Come 'on, folks, grab ya sunnies and hop in ...

It looks like a fantastic place Jessica. I can't imagine living in one of those cliff houses and having that view of the ocean everyday.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful place Jessica, thanks for sharing with us part of your life and family.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
It looks familiar!:) Lovely video, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I want to live there. It's gorgeous. Too bad I can't stand the heat. :(
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! What a great place to live and have a retreat! I could stand the heat if the place was beautiful like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing--it looks so quaint. I think a town like that would drive me crazy if it weren't so amazingly beautiful... it probably isn't as small as it seems, but everything is right near the water like that, so it looks small. perfect getaway though.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a beautiful, heavenly place.
ReplyDeleteGreat place for a retreat. Wish you much success. I'll be keeping tabs on how it goes 'cause I'm building a retreat here in Akumal, Mexico. I'm in the planning stage but hope to have it up and running in 2012. When it's open...you have a place to stay for free as my friend.
