Knossos. Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to separate out what is actual archaeology from the deluded, fanciful “reconstruction” of the British guy who excavated it, but it was still fascinating to see the ruins of a civilisation we know so little about.


I’ve never been to a restaurant that had an entire separate menu just of olive oils! Thanks to @peskesi for a wonderful evening of local food served with generosity and pride. (And though he was initially skeptical of the dessert, it was delicious!)



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
