Ancient Greek Ruins - Classical Architecture
At the Acropolis-Ancient Greek Ruins
Living in the Land of the Greek Gods and Godesseses
In the mid 1960"s my father was stationed at Athenai Air Force Base a short distance from Athens, so we lived in Greece for three years. My father was an explorer at heart and his favorite subjects were history and geography, so of course they became my favorite subjects, And we lived in Greece!
So much history, so much mythology. It was all around us and so many weekends and certainly many vacation found us driving the length and breadth of the Greek peninsula to visit every possible ruin and historical site. It was a wonderful three years and of all the places we lived, it was my favorite.
So, brush up on your Greek history and mythology... dream expansively....see yourself there. Enjoy :)
