On the way to the Temple of Demeter we detoured to hike down to this little 1st C church out in a field. There was an historic marker on the road identifying it, so I hoped it might be open to visit. It wasn't. It was locked up tight. All I could do was peer through the keyhole and honestly, that may have been better.

Hired a car on Naxos and drove to a small fishing village called Moutsouna to escape the party crowds.

for the wip word ask game: rain, lips, incredible, bird

:))

Thank you for asking!

So I realized as soon as you asked, that the problem is I usually only have a sentence for an idea before I type it all up and post it in a day or two. So I had to make a wip before I could answer your ask! Anyway, here you go, I put birds in for you. Rose is wandering around Naxos, and she's going to come across Orpheus eventually.

Rose wandered up and down the beach, looking for a quiet corner to put down her towel, but every time she thought she’d found one, a random stranger would throw a ball towards her, or a child would accidentally kick sand on her towel. Finally she found a perfect spot, only for a seabird flying over to let one loose on her head.  “Argh! I give up!” She turned inland and got out her phone to book a ride to Mount Zas on the site the hotel desk agent had shown her. Ten minutes later her car arrived, the enthusiastic driver willing to talk her ear off as he drove her to the parking lot, raving about the Cretzschmar's Buntings and Eleonora’s Falcons she would likely see at the summit. The cairns and trail markers he pointed out were easy to follow, and Rose enjoyed her hike, crossing the large slabs of rock near the beginning with care and peeking into the dark Cave of Zeus. The birds at the summit rode the air currents (falcons) and picked at the ground for seeds (buntings). The ocean glimmered in the sun on the horizon. She felt the stress of the last few weeks melting from her body. It was on her way down again that she was thinking about her next book and suddenly noticed that there hadn’t been a trail marker in a while. She looked around. Surely this was the same path she’d come up on? It looked the same. But there weren’t any trail markers around. Ah, well, she decided. She’d just go on and hopefully she’d see one soon.

@ilya-halfelven I'm sure you want to see this too!
