Our latest postcard comes to CAS 119 courtesy of the Hellenic Post, straight from Athens Greece. It was sent by Marguerite McHale (Core ’11, CAS ’13), a Polytropos<\/a> winner and former office staffer. She writes:<\/p>\n

\"back\"Hello Prof. Nelson and the rest of the Core!<\/p>\n

Hope you’re all doing splendidly. I’m enjoying Athens very much. It’s very hot this time of year, but the shade is cool, and so is the wine.<\/p>\n

I thought a lot about the Core as I walked around the Acropolis and the ancient agora<\/a>. My next steps include the island sanctuary Samothraki<\/a> and then Crete<\/a>. Plenty of beach there!<\/p>\n

Wishing you all well!<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nMarguerite McHale<\/p>\n

PS: Say hi to everyone!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, here it is:<\/p>\n

MARGUERITE SAYS HI, EVERYONE!<\/strong>!<\/h1>\n
