Greece has the most beautiful islands. You can visit the Parthenon in Athens, a historical, breathtaking site that also has an air of romance.

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” –Maya Angelou

Travel expands the mind, opens the heart and sharpens the senses. Travel heightens the connection to the human family, regardless of language or cultural differences. The more you travel, and the more you learn about this planet we call home, the richer your life becomes.

Perched delicately on the side of a mineral stream in St. Lucia was a sister who looked angelic, like heaven was speaking to her in her head. Although she didn’t utter a word, she was speaking delightfully to me, and I took out my camera and captured that moment in sulfur.

Bon Voyage. Au Revoir. Hasta Luego. Ciao.
Enjoy your travels.
