Can a Game Be Literature?

Mark & Linda's Tzatziki Tour of Greece, October 2017.
Delphi, Wednesday, 2017.10.18.

Delphi, omphalos, center of the world.

Brilliant.

I have no memory at all of being here on January 22, 1980. A little spooky how unlike me that is. I think I remember some concern that I'd gotten on the wrong bus; and perhaps some trepidation over unsafe velocity around sheer mountain curves. Absolutely nothing of the town or the site was familiar.

So that its jaw-dropping beauty came as a most welcome surprise.

Ended the day at our Athenian Headquarters after a hilarious dinner with our riotous new friends, the waiters at Arcadia.
