7:12 Our Own Odysseys: Greek Village Doppelganger
Lynda Mara traveled with her mother, to the islands of Samos, Paros and Mykonos in 1996, where she enjoyed dazzling white architecture (they put salt in the plaster to make it sparkle) met working donkeys, got locked out during the siesta, met a spitting image of her daughter and didn’t smash a single plate...

Donkeys seem to be cherished pets and are important contributors to the fortunes of the extended family. They are only seen in the towns in the early morning. (PHOTO: Lynda Mara)

In Samos, Paros and Mykynos the street paving was always painted this way. Occasionally symbols were painted on to the pavement, and we were told these indicated routes to a church. (PHOTO: Lynda Mara)
