Smyrna - Running on empty and a wild goose chase
... Tatev's book. He walked off with it without much fuss (much like the recipient of the umbrella at the end of the title song in Singin' in the Rain.
Perhaps this was the best outcome. Tatev would have probably bought herself another copy for her exams. Still, it would have been nice to have run into her. We could have enacted our own variant of the scene in Amelie where she restores a long lost treasure to a man in a cafe. Not to be. Sigh!

An early morning swim in the inlet was fantastic; the sun was up and the water visibility so clear that you could see the bottom without snorkelling.
