You go half way around the world, thousands of miles from anything and anyone you know, through thousands of life changes, and there, sitting in the corner of a local taverna, sits a man who regularly sold you fruit from a stand in Elizabeth street, Melbourne, on your lunch break over 30 years ago. What are the chances? Quite good when it comes to an Ithacan experience it seems. Yiannis, a Stavros local, like so many ithacans, has spent many years in Australia, where he worked and made a living for himself before returning to Ithaca in 1980. |
