Birthday Get-a-Way to Greece

Greece trip
Welcome to the Greece—the temple of Poseidon.

Greece is beautiful this time of year—at least it usually is. My brother enjoyed his birthday, and I have the photos to prove it—but the trip had some unexpected developments. Blue skies and crystal waters made the boat trip to three islands a ‘sightseeing dream’ but then began the recent protests. The trip back to the hotel became a different sort of ‘sightseeing trip’ through rural roads and back entrances to avoid the action in the streets. It turned out that a couple days confined to the inside of this elegant hotel was not a problem for him or his traveling companions. They all enjoyed extra time in the hotel’s lovely spa and the lively bar to conclude his Happy Birthday trip. They left hoping for better times ahead for this country with a magnificent past. Enjoy his photos of so many sights I would love to see!
