The Last Entry








We had our group dinner in The Plaka tonight under the lights of the Acropolis. The vibe in the air was quietly electric. A few hours earlier we sat in a circle in a room at the hotel and shared memories. Sounds hokey, but it was not. Some of the stories we had heard before, but they sounded even better in this heightened forum. We also heard some confessional incidents that belong under the what-happened-in-Europe-stays-in-Europe variety. Afterward, we carried that healthy buzz to dinner. Now its late, and the Dreamers are ready to go home. If we can make our tight transfers--the girls in Atlanta and the boys at JFK--then the story ends, but the dream will . . . I guess this is getting hokey afterall. Let me finish up with more pictures. Props to Coach Hall for another successful trip. Thanks to Casandra Robinson for contributing some beautiful shots to the oeuvre. I wish Brad Dessy a safe journey throughout Spain and email me Brad with tips on Valencia. I'm back for three days, then off with family to South Dakota. Then in two weeks my family and I fly to Barcelona for a home exchange. I won't be blogging, however, so auf weidersehn and arrivederci.

Truly but wryly,

The Literary Vagabond
