So a couple weeks ago I found myself on a ferry to Syros. Now Syros isn't a Greek island I had always dreamed of visiting, but visiting there made one dream come true: permanent residency in Greece. As of May 19, 2022, I am able to stay here indefinitely. I do plan to keep up my nomadic ways to a degree, particularly now that travel is getting easier, but now I don't have to count my days in and out of the country, which was one of the more annoying aspects of having a relationship with a man here the past few years.
Syros was a lovely island though, with a charming harbour front, and a number of attractive colonial buildings. Compared to my sometimes scruffy village of Perissa, it was terribly gentile. Having only one specific thing to do (the appointment at immigration), I then spent the rest of my time wandering from cafe to bar to restaurant, drinking coffee, wine, eating, and reading at a pace of a book a day. It's been some time since I've just whiled away a day or two in that fashion. I felt very Greek!
