Michel and I arrived Saturday night/Sunday morning (May 13-14) and Zaphiri made two long trips to the airport to pick us up, going to a wedding party in between. We worked hard on Sunday laying out our schedule and Zaphiri related to us all the remarkable contacts he has made and all the research and planning he’s done on this, his first producing job on a project of this scope. We tested cameras in his flat in Athens and then realized we really needed to get them out in the field, so we joined friends in Tatoi, a lovely mountain forest outside Athens. They were picking wild asparagus, not enough for all of us, but we did manage to eat well, nonetheless.
