Moonrise over Vouliagmeni

Vouliagmeni is a resort town not far from Athens. There is a large quiet cove with a sandy beach. The Agean is clear and blue. They have succeded in building too many hotels and villas here. On the rocky side of the peninsula red rock lava flows touch the ocean. There are piles of trash every where just beyond view, hidden in gullys and behind trees. The shore line on the west is littered with thousands of plastic water bottles, cigarette butts and ship debris. I spent a night here in the Plaza Hotel. The roof deck looks out over the bay. I plan to spend the day reading and playing guitar up there. On Sunday I go to Kea.
