Our Stay at the St. George Lycabettus Hotel
A Word of Apology!
We spent several days in Athens last week as we wanted so much to be with the kids.
I had the opportunity to get to the centre of Athens but this is the first time I feel that I do not have anything positive to write down. There is not a single thing to highlight even on one entry.
You see, very few Greeks are in the festive mood and the first morning when I walked to the City Centre I found nothing to take pictures of. There ...
Isn't it Ionic - don't you think?
... Greeks want to know why it was buried, and which of the deep cuts to public services might have been avoided if the fat cats had been made to pay tax on their billions of euros of deposits.
A pretty intense guy all round (frequently gripping Al's arm and staring into his eyes he would ask "Is everything OK? ARE YOU HAVING A GOOD TIME?"), our host was even more on edge as ...
Greece

Corinth and Acrocorinth
... there is breathtaking view of the city. The ruins were extremely well preserved. We were even able to see where the natural springs ran through the city in the ancient times. Ancient Corinth was very cosmopolitan in the time of Paul, which also was rather corrupt.
In total Paul made three visits to Corinth. His first visit was to establish the synagogue in Corinth, the second to attempt to resolve conflict regarding his leadership ...
