Yup they're in Greece in the northern area of the
Peloponnese peninsula, near a town called Meteora.
It's a spiritual experience of the first order. I
have been there. On one of them there big roocks.
At least one. Maybe more. Too long ago to remember,
except how stunned I was by the whole
thing.
I remember in one of the Tavernas, I was with some
English fellows. We started trading nick names
for various things. I was trying to find out the
english slang for condoms, but they didn't know any of
my north Aremican slang, so Ifinally blurted out,
prophyllactics. The taverna went silent, and everyone
(all men of course), looked at me. Apparently that
is the Greek word for condoms. :) Sheepish look
on my face.
Curoious what one remembers.

Thanks, and pardon my ignorance,
but where are they? Greece? Have you seen them in person? Just curious. Maybe
I'll put my retirement to good use with a
tour.

with the most incredible works of Greek
Orthodox type art. It's all stupendous in every
way.

Fits my bill for perilous. Do you know what the buildings
are?
