The journal

The wind in Mykonos never really stops, and I learned to angle my hat before I learned much else. A fisherman near Little Venice sold me octopus straight off his line, grilling it on a rack he'd clearly rigged himself. We ate standing up, the sea spray reaching us even at that distance.
