Final Entry

This will be the final entry of out trip to Greece.  As I reviewed the people and places we visited I wanted to include some things that weren't included in the day by day blog. The first picture below is of an oregano plant.  These plants grew wild along the side of the road.


This second picture is of a small chapel.  Private citizens are allowed to build them without having them belong to an organized religion. You see them in city neighborhoods and in the country throughout Greece.


The next picture is of the Canal of Corinth.  This man-made canal is 4 miles long and connects the Aegean sea with the Ionian Sea.


The next picture was taken at Delos (see "A Walk Through Time" in this blog).  The picture is taken in a residential neighborhood of this ancient city.  The columns indicate that this house was owned by a wethy resident.  The full size sculptures (with heads missing) were  the likely owners who have been standing guard over their home for hundreds of centuries.



I want to express my appreciation to those of you who have followed this blog of  HVCC's trip to Greece. The experience for the singers was exceptional.
