To hear Mr. Beevor tell it, the Cretans fought back hard. Some of that defiance seems to have rubbed off on you.

This may convey a false impression these days as the relationship was not romantic.<br />Kazantzakis felt a spiritual kinship to the famous painter.<br />Good holidays and na sta kala.

In 1977, I went down the Samarian Gorge and read "Zorba" while resting on the beach there, so beautiful. I went back to Crete over the years, but the last time was in 1997. I am sure it has changed a lot since then. I used to live on Santorini, and it has changed beyond recognition. Have some of that wonderful olive oil on bread for me -- there is no olive oil in the world better than Cretan olive oil. Dear Leo,

I was forever bemused by the fact that road signs were in 3 scripts.

Enjoy.
