Sounds like a great trip and I look forward to reading and seeing your upcoming adventures. My minor in University decades ago was in history (medieval cities, ancient astronomy) and I love your work. Safe travels!
Diving in Baia! How cool. That and the impression the theatre festival made on you ("vitality of an ancient tradition") – those things evoke awe and a sense of adventure and I adore that.
Also love the ambition to take it beyond the online written word and to embodied experiences. Curious to see how it unfolds for you :)
I'm sure you'll have a great time in Italy. Good luck with your creative research endeavours too!
I can’t wait for Baia. The folks I’m diving with give a historical presentation before each dive we’ll do, too. In Crete I dived a site with Minoan pottery several times but nothing like those mosaics at Baia.
Thanks for the encouragement as I take this next leap!
Yeah don’t get me wrong, pottery that ancient underwater is mindblowing! I wasn’t allowed to take any photos though. I have a post about Knossos on the back burner I’d like to write eventually, too.

I still want to see Crete and Minoan ~anything~ 😁 Let alone diving to find it. What a great skill to have for such research!

And I hope you get a chance to experience something Minoan!
I would love to read what you have to say about Knossos, James
And thank you! :)
