Leaving Paros

Posted June 13, 2015 by almwilli

All of the students have left the island and just Thomas and I are left to contemplate the silence that remains at the Villa Katerina, the wonderful place we have called home for more than three weeks. Friday afternoon we were able to use the Aegean Center in Parikia to show our work to a… Read more »

Posted June 12, 2015 by almwilli

We had eleven students here for three weeks working on a documentary on a little known archaeological site called Despotiko.

Today is the day that we continue our three-day weekend adventure and head to Santorini to see one of the world’s most beautiful sunsets! Sounds simple and relaxing enough right? Well… the day started off a little rough. We had the hotel receptionist call us a free shuttle that was going to pick us up… Read more »

“The end is near”

Today marks the end of our three-day weekend. Our day started at 8 am with breakfast at our hotel, Caldera Butterfly Villa in Santorini.
