"Top Three"

Well, three months have gone by, since I uploaded “Top Ten”.  At that time, the post about New Orleans was the most popular.  We now have a new champion.  The gold medal goes to Porto Rafti, while New Orleans and Cook County Hospital take the silver and bronze medals respectively.  The “Porto Rafti” post was an attempt to show the beauty of the bay at the east shores of the Attica peninsula. 

Porto Rafti is a popular destination for Athenians and celebrities alike such as George Harrison of the Beatles who vacationed there in 1979.

Amazingly, the post about “Cook County Hospital” is now more popular than “Mothers and their children” and “San Francisco”, that were second and third, three months ago.  Cook County as it was affectionately called is a legendary institution that trained more physicians in the U.S. than any other for almost 100 years. 

Here comes the sun 

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Little darling

It's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling

It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun 

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Little darling

The smiles returning to the faces

Little darling

It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling

I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling

It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

It's all right

It's all right

Bards and commoners in Porto Rafti.

George Harrison looking at the island during his visit at Porto Rafti in 1979; in this picture with his guitar and likely singing “here comes the sun”.

A beach on the bay not far from where George Harrison was strumming his guitar.

Can you guess who among the young on the beach is a Beetle’s devotee?
