This guy, almost thirty years voluntarily confined to two rooms, one in Kato Kifisia and one in Parga, had opened windows to the whole world for me. He had taken me to the Land of the Visigoths, to Mexico, to Kathmandu, to Metz, to Puerto Rico, together we had set up barricades in Paris in May '68, we had climbed onto the cart with Rosa Luxemburg, sailed with Sinbad's crew, from the Taj Mahal to the Depot and from Parga to Jorge d'Alvarado Square.
