In the Fall of 2002, my wife and I visited Greece. One of the attractions we visited was the monasteries at Meteora. As I walked by a door in the monastery I was quite surprised by this small room with a simple bookcase lined with skulls of hermits/monks that had lived there. The whole monastery complex is extraordinary.
Notice the lower right side of the photo. There is a little car carrying a man. It's suspended by wires over a very deep canyon. For many years that was the only way to have contact with the outside world and to bring supplies into the monastery If you wish to learn more about this amazing place, click this link Meteora Monasteries. It is one of the great wonders of Greece.
