Last Day in Messenia

We're on the Road Again...

Sadly, our time here in Finikounda draws to a close. Jonathan was up at first dawn. Sleep has been de-prioritized to about 3 hours per night, with a one-hour nap in the heat of the afternoon, followed by the third swim of the day. That final swim is generally in conjunction with a 5 kilometer run down the beach.

Manny and Jonathan will set off shortly for Shinolaka, one the area's many magical waterfalls. Later today we will head the traditional stone village of Mistraki, where our British friend John has a restored house dating back to the Middle Ages. Mistraki was built by those fleeing Mistra after it's sacking. It is a special with no more than a half dozen permanent residents.

Our landlady's family has invited us for a last supper of sorts, and then we will hook up with our British friends for a final goodbye later tonight.

And then we are off tomorrow morning, heading east toward Monemvasia, where will spend a night, before driving north to the village of Kosta, across from the island of Spetses--where Jonathan and Ann will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary.

More to come...
