Almost Home

 Sitting in the Toronto airport having flown here from Athens today. We are waiting for our flight to Boston. We wish that Road Scholar had booked us directly from Boston to Athens and return. Discovered there was such a flight when we met a couple from Boston on this trip. I don’t know why I didn’t make that query when Road Scholar booked our flight. I’ll know if there’s ever a next time. 

Since my last Postcard we have seen some awesome ancient sites. Here is a just a teaser or two. 

Akrotiri on Thera also known as Santorini



In Turkey there was Ephesus



In Kos we visited an ancient hospital, Asklepios




Much more to come in weeks ahead.
