Catch on...brain spacebus!

           Returning home after every working day is combined with pure silence. Sweet Heart is still at work, the baby is playing with grandparents some blocks away and my body is melting on the enormous coach of our small living room. 
           It's time for switching on the pc and start travelling around the world. I started those brain trips some days ago, surfing in special earth view programme, when I wanted to detect my aunt's home in Rio de Janeiro. It was funny. Travelling around the world, I discovered street view. Walking around unknown streets, I recalled my lonely trips to different countries due to obligatory scientific conferences. Then, 3-dimentional photos, included in big round-shaped baloons and attached in specific landmarks, made me shout out loud with excitement! Real non-moving human figures share the lost moment of their real past with the present and the future simultaneously! 
           Today, firstly I search for Home. No street view is availiable. Then, I travel to Santorini. Some extra summer breeze over the dark autumn afternoon is the best remedy to my overflowed with rubbish mind. I'm nearly listening to the cat miaouings from the studio's yard next to my hotel balcony. What a view! The remnants of the volcano exaggerate the sharpness of the surrounding land. The buildings appear carefully constructed, opening their windows to the glorious sunset on the Aegean sea like sunflowers.
           The telephone is ringing. I wish I didn't hang up, but a patient calls in anxiety because she suffers from pain a week after receiving chemotherapy. I wish it was Sweet Heart; then my trip to Santorini wouldn't have been interrupted... 
            Next destination: Florida...For today, I have to ride some blocks away in order to face the smile of my beloved son...
