Taking Penelope for the first time to the Acropolis in Athens Greece

My journal

Our daughter has fallen asleep countless times with stories from Greek mythology. One of her favorites is how Athens got its name from the goddess Athena.

Walking around the Acropolis then up to the sacred hill to the Parthenon was very special for even at the age of seven.

Following the Parthenon, we also went to the Acropolis Museum and Syntagma square to see the statue of the unknown soldier.

I think the best part for the family was getting back to the Greek cuisine after a lot of pasta and pizza in Sicily. And believe me, we love pizza. But Greek food still tops our charts.

We blew 3 candles, ate some cake, opened gifts and set sail for the next year. Happy birthday Penelope.

Why I supported TEDx Chania
To start with, I need to emphasise on how much every professional, in just about any field, has to find time and effort, and give back to the community they practice their business in, and not just expect to receive ALL THE TIME.   With this in mind I try to find and help with my profession, individuals or groups, that strive, work hard and have a vision. My job then is to help that vision become audio, visual, or both. I can either photograph, capture a film or simply guide in the best way that I have learned thus far. TEDx Chania approached me with the need of photographic coverage of their speakers. Being the low season of ...
