RE: “Suspended in Air” - A Tour Through Monk Occupied Monasteries in Meteora, Greece
Well first question, “How many flights of stair did you climb?” Bum leg or not, I would be laid up for a week. Actually I would probably just abandon the tour and stay up there for a couple days.
My lineman vocabulary doesn’t even come close to having words that describe those photos!! HOLY S... So I am gonna show Mama-Splatts this and I am devising a plan right now for a family trip to Meteora, Greece. I will be going through these photos again and again. Thank you for taking the time and putting forth the effort to show and educate people about this amazing place on this amazing planet of ours... who made this planet anyway?
Cheers and thanks again for taking us with you on your travels.

This was a horrible comment to read first thing in the morning. Your encouragement needs a lot of tuning. I wish we never would’ve met!
I figured I’d start like that because I can’t really describe how thankful I was to read your comment so, I thought maybe if I was a total prick right outta the gate, everything else I said would be top shelf! ..did it work? 🤔
Great question and I should’ve pointed it out. 300 steps. Each monestary, for religious purposes, has 300 steps. Also, I didn’t feel like divulging for the sake of experience vs politics, the reason there’s only 6 monasteries left from originally 24—WWII. I’ve seen two aftermaths now of Hitlers reign while touring Europe, as he began losing the war, his strategic bombing wasn’t to cause casualties, it was strictly to damage culture. He bombed the other monasteries.
The one-legged guy strikes again! Brother, and this is the God’s honest truth, Pura and I are doing all of this right now because I know it’s just a matter of time until I can’t walk anymore. It literally could be tomorrow. So i push myself and I just keep going. Would you believe she’s sore in both calves and the one-legged guy is ready for more? God’s the coolest dude in this conversation. He sets me down when need be and allows me to keep going when need be. I could volunteer at the refugee camp, stand on my leg for one hour and have to miss the following day, can’t go to the gym or anything. Then do something like this and still be able to stand—it’s crazy.
There’s SO much to do in Greece, your family, yourself, you’d be so thankful and you’d never forget it. This is Puras favorite stop so far and you’ve watched us venture many places—that says quite a bit. Greece is dope dude!
Thank you for checking this one out, I’m really glad you liked it @jlsplatts. And thank you for the @splatz curation. I appreciate the encouragement because I really tried to bring ya’all along on this one—mission accomplished *(according to Walla Walla). 👍🏿
Let alone the breath taking sites, a crazy history lesson on top of that. 300 steps.... hmm religion has a way of making things... “interesting” doesn’t it 😉
One day... one day we will make it over the pond and visit Greece. You have just made it one of the top places on my “to visit” list.
Cheers!!
