Place of Tears A roadside memorial near Potamos along the Agia Pelagia road, became our destination one sunny but windy April afternoon. Known as the “place of tears,” this 1908 memorial marks the point of departure where families from a bygone era farewelled loved ones, about to leave the Island. On the cold, unadorned concrete seats that mark the site, we reflect back to the year 1897 when our own grandfather, at the tender age of fifteen assembled, bound for Sydney, Australia. We try to imagine the tears that flowed, the warm embraces exchanged. Neither he nor his brother, who followed a few years later, returned to the Island nor saw their parents again. In memory of Theo George Andronicos (1881 – 1948) Emmanuel George Andronicos (1876 - 1910)
