(meteorobs) OT question (Endeavour)

[Arlene Carol]

Thanks Chris,
I KNEW there was a site for this stuff but I didn't know where it was.

I'm about 45 minutes south of Troy. 10 km inland from the Aegean Coast line
but with a good view of the sea and the Island of Mytilini. (my village is
on a high mountain plateau). Are you familiar with this area at all?

Thank you for your assistance.

(i can do this because my late husband was a texan!! but
i'm a Philly gal originally)
