Yesterday, we made our way
to the cove of Paleokastro, (Old Castle),
for our first salty swim of the season.
Sailboats, floating on a splashy
surface of sparkling waves,
glided past cliffy coastlines, signed by
stiff, sunburnt branches,
and rough and rocky shores, where aromatic rosemary
seasoned the breeze with savoury/sweet bouquets.

I wonder, could this fragrant herb have been
planted by palace proprietors, or the castle's cooks,
who braved the descent down to the pebbly beach
to snip the leaves for rich ragouts and scented brews?
One thing's for sure:
the corns and calluses
of the castle's culinary crew
must have been
pampered and pumiced
pampered and pumiced
with a weekly, pedicure!
Thanks for visiting
and have a wonderful week!
