Thanks, Moose! It is indeed very wet here. So wet that the front door has swelled from windblown moisture, and it is
difficult to open it.
We fell in love with Greece. It's a beautiful country, the people are warm, and there's a sense of closeness to
history and the land that is very engaging. Go in the early fall, or spring. It gets roaring hot in the summer.
Yup, that's why we visited Morocco in Oct. Cool nights and mornings, warm to
hotish afternoons.
There's a reason why so many houses are white. I mostly used an old Panasonic consumer zoom on the E-M1, a 14-45
f/3.5-5.6 that came with my very old G1. It's actually quite good, and enabled me to travel light. Supplemented by a
20/1.7 and 45/1.8 when it got dark.
I have yet to learn how to travel light. 🙂I tried going without back-up equipment. Very luckily, a fellow traveler to
the Orkneys, now friend, loaned me his Panny 14-140 when my Oly 12-200 went south and he was headed home while we went
onto Morocco.
Meantime, I was often tromping around various places with two cameras around my neck, one with 100-400 and MC-14. No
idea why that doesn't mess up my neck, but so far, decades, it's OK.
We're planning on seeing the UK next summer.

I was just talking to a guy who took his family for their first time this year. It reminded me that there are two
places, really, London, and the rest. I've not been to London since '77, and Carol never. We've been over lots of the
rest in five visits in the last years, SW, Cotswolds, Lake District, Midlands, Various parts of Scotland, N. Wales, and
loved all of it.
I suppose we may have to do London one day . . . I don't much like big cities. We visit Brooklyn for family, and day
trip over to Manhattan for the museums.
Ireland was lovely, too. Again, of of about a month in two visits, we were in
Dublin for two days.
Don't wash away!
Travelin' Moose
