Herbs to remember Salamina

To remember Salamina Island and this beautiful home, I collected some herbs to take with me: oregano, rosemary, sage and lavender. I've dried them and packed them into zip lock bags to preserve their scent.

Being in Greece feeds my soul. My eyes are filling with new sights. My nose is full of the scent of the sea as well as aromas of lavender, sage, rosemary and oregano. My hands touch plants and dogs and stones. My ears are full of the sound of the sea, goat bells (and dogs barking – can't win them all) and my taste buds are enjoying new tea and good food.
