Thur 14 July - Above and Below left - Raxi General Store is lovingly known around northern Ithaki as the Raxi Club due to the home fires burning late into the night behind closed doors. Proprietor, Costa Paizi, not only provides supplies for the community, but also a place for the community and tourists if they wish, to gather, have a drink, share a conversation or watch some tv. Many visitors are curious about this establishment, maybe it's time to take a look inside and say hello to Costa.
 
 
 
Fri 15 July - Above Right - Many times during yesterday, it seemed the wind would bring in the rainfall experienced on the mainland, but Ithakis micro climate overted holiday disaster again.
