Aegina

We finished our first day of sailing with my parents and Art in Aegina.

We left Kiato, sailed past a point called Perahora. It was a site that we often visit when we visit Greece. It is at the end of Loutraki mountain, which sits to the north of Corinth across the bay. The site is an ancient one. It has a small harbor carved in stone. Supposedly, Medea, upon rejection by Jason (of the Argonauts) and the killing of their children came here to cry. It is a point is quite magical. I will e-mail a photo later to the blog off the blackberry.

Then to the Corinth Canal. After that we sailed the seas, with nice wind, to Aegina.

Did a nice docking in Aegina and spent two nights there. Went and saw this wonderful classical temple. This temple, with the Parthenon and the temple on Cape Sounion make an equilateral triangle.

Wonderful pistachios in Aegina. They grow them here.
