Photos of my trips to Greece and all things Greek that interest me...
How this trip happened to be:
The internet can be a wonderful place and sometimes you meet someone online from far away who turns out to be a good friend...
This was the case with the Greek Captain that I met online in 2007.
We said hello to each other, chatted for a while and then he happened to mention to me that he would be visiting Toronto for a couple of weeks... so, we spent the next few weeks chatting and got to know one another, at which point I invited him to stay with me during his trip if he wanted to.
He eventually agreed to and I proceeded to show him Toronto and the Niagara region as well as other locations in Southwestern Ontario.
During his visit I mentioned I had never been to Greece and he later suggested I visit him in Corfu ...
So that led to this trip that I have documented here...
Subsequent to this initial trip in 2007 I visited Athens, twice in 2008 and 2009.. From the moment I set foot in Athens on the first visit during the layover prior to my flight to Corfu, I felt at home.. It was as if I had always been there.
I don't know whether it was some supernatural thing or the fact that so much of 'modern' Athens resembles 70's America... probably influenced by the US Naval bases that were there during that pariod...
