An excerpt from a postcard sent from Greece, written by Claudia on Thursday, April 1, 1971.
We spent Tuesday night in a hotel in Xylokastro (I dare you to pronounce it!) right on the edge of the beach—it was so beautiful and jolly. I went right out and ran up and down the beach and in the morning I gathered a whole pocketful of real beach pebbles from the shores of Greece! Yesterday we saw the ruins of Corinth and Mycenae—it was really jolly ’cause they are on beautiful hills that are covered with green and wild flowers ’cause it’s spring—it’s neat how they grow around the rocks and ruins—I climbed all over them and picked bunches and bunches of flowers! i’m in love with Greece—it’s the greenest country i’ve seen, with rocky cliffs and green hills and meadows and the sea is all around! People here don’t have cows but goats instead so we drink goat’s milk and the donkey is their main work animal—we see lots of goats and donkeys and sheep too.
