Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 9July1971: Rhodes, Greece: Being in Greece is Like Being in Another World and I Love It!

Dear Andy:

We returned from Symi yesterday and tomorrow we leave for Karpathos which is seven hours by ship.

I am sitting in a restaurant at the market square waiting for Robert. It is very hot here and thank goodness for a continual breeze. The market is full of fruit and Robert can eat his fill of green grapes. The peaches are huge and delicious. Plenty of oranges and lemons. All fruit in the market is local.

If you like to swing Greece is not the place unless you go to a hotel frequented by Americans but then you lose the felling of being in a different country. I love it here as you are in a different world but there are too many tourists in Rhodes and that is NO GOOD.

Love Mum
