On our fall trip to the Pindos mountains in western Greece, our first stop was at the brown bear sanctuary in Nympheo. We were struck by the stillness and beauty of the village. No cars are allowed to enter and so we got our things and began to walk. Just one turn in the road and we came upon a stone house (they were all stone) and garden. Hanging around the window were bunches of red “Florines” peppers drying in the sun. The contrast in color was stark and beautiful.
Be well…..
