We visited Greece for my daughter’s college graduation mystery trip. As you can tell by the photos, Greece is a beautiful country.

I was finally able to cross the continent of Europe off my bucket list. And we were able to give our daughter her graduation gift from 2020.

We had a layover in Germany where I was able to speak German with some of the people there. I just started to learn German several weeks back, another bucket list item.

In Greece, we spent several days in Athens. We also visited Olympia, Delphi, and Meteora. It was a lot of travel to pack into one week but so worth it.

We tried a lot of different foods. I enjoyed the Moussaka which is almost like a lasagna but with potatoes and eggplant. I really enjoyed eggplant more than I thought I would.

The one thing I wasn’t used to was seeing animals everywhere. There were a lot of cats wandering around and even stray dogs, but no one seemed to mind.

We learned a lot about Greek gods and ancient history. We walked amidst the ruins. The people of Greece were very friendly. We went over the end of their winter, much like ours at home. The temps were in the 50’s, so rather cool.

But most importantly, as a family with my husband and I, and Angel and Dan, we were able to create moments and memories. Experiences.
