In September my friend Patricia Comeaux and I toured Greece on our first trip together. We "hubbed" out of Athens and there visited the Parthenon and the Agora. How absolutely magnificent these ancient ruins were; we walked in the footsteps of Socrates and other famous Greeks and Romans, and toured the Temple of Hephastion. With our group, we visited Epidaurus where the plays of Socrates and Euripedes were performed, the seaside village of Nauplion, Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, and Mycenae (possibly my favorite site, built on a hilltop around 1300 BCE) famed for the Lion's Gate and through which the famous king, Agamemnon, launched his battle on Troy. One day we took a cruise around the Saronic Islands;Poros, Hydra, and Aegina.
