One of my favourite things in the world to do

To grab a gyro at Sábbas and walk around Plaka. To walk the coast of Carthage from the Corniche of La Marsa to the roundabout of Sidi Bou Saïd. To drink tea in Üsküdar, have lunch in Kadıköy and walk the streets of Beyoğlu. To eat paella in Alicante. To sail in the Golfe de Saint-Tropez. To séjour for as many weeks as one can in Montpellier. To visit Lebanon and Crete more. To one day meet a professor friend in the mountains of Cyprus. To arrange for a Tunisian family to have their young girl, for one time, ride in a limousine. To pay for another Tunisian woman, who cleans everyday, to learn to read the Arabic script. To pay for an Athenian woman’s law school. And to sail into Ithaca.
