My place to visit of choice is Athens, Greece. Ever since I was a young girl I have
been enchanted by the mythology behind the greek people. I've been enchanted
by the social and political experiences that they had som many thousands of years ago.
Looking at the buildings, that still stand today I am amazed at the absolute splendor
that still exists. The fact that within this modern city is a beautiful ancient civilzation.
The history of the early world is contained within this area.
Looking at the buildings one can only imagine the number of people that have stood
on that very same spot and gazed in amazement at the beauty that is contained within
the walls. Looking around at the city below one can't help but imagine how
different it would have looked when these buildings where first made.
The wonder of Greece to me is that so much has come from this area of the world,
so much of how we as a society work, think, learn and live comes from some very
important steps from the Greek scholars.
I'd love for one moment to stand in front of this city, to stand on the steps of history.
To see who the world carries on and moves forward but how these beautiful
pieces still exist and are living remindersto us all that nothing lasts forever and that
the glory of what we achieve today may be nothing more than ruins for a future civilzation.
Some day I will get to Greece! I know I will make it...after all I think it is one more thing
that I can add to my DGD list!!!
