WORD OF THE DAY
Archipelago • \ark-uh-PELL-uh-goe\ • Noun - 1: an expanse of
water with many scattered islands 2: a group of islands 3: something resembling
an archipelago; especially: a group or scattering of similar things
Emerald blue water, whitewashed houses tumbling down rocky
slopes to the waters’ edge, island time could truly be summed up by a summer in
the Aegean archipelago of Greece; far from the madding crowds of Athens.
