One year ago today...

...I was staring at the Mediterranean from my veranda on Santorini. I spent 2 weeks prior to that visiting my work sites in Italy and Athens, and meeting all the students I sent on those programs. Then my 2 friends, Greta & Liz (from Denver), flew over to meet me in Athens. We saw the sights there and then left the big city to spend a few days in the Greek mountains and a few more days in the Greek Isles. Sigh... Here are some of the memories...
