here is an excerpt from the book to be an artist -

"the sale of this most loyal of automobiles, VW Beetle KUY 491K. This happened in the March, six weeks before the sale of the house. Flushed with cash I set off on a modest excursion to Greece and Turkey before the bigger travel plan to India got going in the May. An Athens bound flight was boarded from Gatwick airport. I stood by the Parthenon that Doric temple originally dedicated to goddess Athena ~two and a half millennia ago and could see that it still retained majesty. Even though acid - rain now converts slowly its marble into gypsum lime. After sketching and photographing it I travelled to Pireas in order to board a ferryboat bound for Turkey. The planned route a circular one. (To Turkey by sea, travel north from Kusadasi to Istanbul - catch a train, return overland back to Greece)"                                    order your copy now - for more info and details see
