    The image is great with all these shades of purple. Glad to know that one of the greatest mathematicians of all time will be remembered in his home town.

    Samos look beautiful. I really like the shot of your father. That is an amazing photograph. (What would he think of you "blogging" with people all over the world?

    Your harbor and town are very attractive...wish I had visited and must get back ad see your island. In 2001 we sailed on the Wind Star along the Mediterranean to ports in Italy, Monaco and France, and then in 2005 on the Costa Brava we sailed to Olympia, Rhodes, Santorini and Dubrovnik. Greeks are so nice and welcoming and the food was incredible. Fantastic trip. We loved Greece!
