Photos, from the top:
The Parthenon (second/replacement Temple of Athena), Temple steps in front of Temple of Nike, scaffolding/ongoing restoration project on the Acropolis since 1983, view from villa at Pendamodi, Crete, interior view at Knossos, my sister-in-law Kirsten, nephew Sam and niece Robin at the Acropolis, my brother John at the Old Market/currently a open air museum, in the Agora (down the hill from the Acropolis).
These are highlights from my recent trip to Greece with my brother and his family. My mom passed away about five years ago. For sometime before that she told my brother and I she wanted to do two things: get cremated and have her ashes spread in the Aegean Sea. Life everlasting in that beautiful blue sea. And so we carried out her wishes. More posts on this trip and the trip we took (my Mom, brother and I - see the passport photo below) in 1975.
I'm glad that you were able to honor your mother in that way. Good for you both.
