Leaving Monemvasia

 Those darn ubiquitous Asphodels, they're everywhere.
 We have to hurry down if we want to catch the last bus back to Sparta.







One last look back at the last stronghold of the Byzantine empire. What's it like to live in a place with such history? What's it like to live with Byzantine ghosts? I have goose bumps as I write this. This place is so mystical, still even though there is a modern settlement nearby. We saw a lot of school kids on the bus when we first arrive. Do they know the significance of this place or more so, do they care? Not the kids in the USA when it comes to history.
