So I am told that by some unwritten tradition, every navy ship has a dog on board. I don't know if that's really true but all my friends in Lesvos insisted about it, and certainly this guy never left the deck of the Hellenic Coast Guard ship and marched b

I arrived yesterday afternoon at the port of Mytilene, the capital of the island of Lesvos. The sun was warm and the sea was calm. Nothing around shows that the island was tested a year ago by a tremendous refugee crisis. The people of Lesvos handle it, d
