4/27 First Lecture Tonight (and) Boat

Tonight, Friday will be the first lecture. A special outside of normal class hours event. I went over what I would say with Antonio last night. Stayed up till after two.
---------
We walked to school yesterday (15 minutes), then the post office, then past the boat.
Below you see the boat. It is the one in the middle with the emergency life raft on top of the cabin. Four fenders on it's side. You look past it to the mainland of Greece.
From a different angle you are looking past the mole (jetty) at one of the two forts on the hill behind it.
The old fort is from 1540, the new fort from 1570. You can not see the boat except for the mast because it is protected by the mole. You can see the temple (office building) at the foot of the hill.
Looking past the men painting (just like me they have more paint on their clothes than they do on the railing) you can see the fort that is in the upper left of the snapshot above. Even though it is small maybe you can see the temple on the very right of the image. 
The light is wonderful. I will report on how the talk went tomorrow. Fro now, I will continue to do short words and more pictures.
