Lefkada, September 26 - October 4, 2025

Lefkada, among the islands of Western Greece, looking east toward the mainland of Epirus.

It wasn’t as if we needed another trip abroad this year. We had spent two months in Greece exactly one year earlier, and then a month in Nepal in April and May. Chris had to go back to work after a year-long sabbatical. We had paid for a wedding!

But! Amy’s brother Ryan and his wife Casey had finally scheduled a long-planned trip to Lefkada in western Greece. Chris and Casey are long-time collaborators on the Homer Multitext. This was the perfect opportunity for them to visit the homeland of Odysseus. And so to Lefkada we went.

It was a good choice!
