I had the incredible fortune last month to find myself in the hearts of two very different ancient civilizations. I hinted in a previous article to my trip to Acropolis of Athens, the very birth place of Western Thought. A planned trip with all the expected turns and a few surprises. My second journey found me climbing... Continue Reading →
