If you haven't guessed by my post for "F", I had quite the imagination when I was younger. Heck, I still do. Needless to say, when I started to be old enough to understand stories of other cultures, I was hooked. One of my favorite was easily Greek Mythology. Fast forward 20 years and I still love Greek mythology except now I have had a taste of Greek food and I've seen pictures of Greece itself. That is why G is for Greece.
To start with, I love food. I do my best to try any food once. When it comes to Greek food, all I can say is "yes please!" I have yet to eat something that I did not like. Yes it is true, I have not eaten food in Greece, yet. As with any type of food, nothing beats eating it from the country of origin. But I would like to at least think that the greek restaurants I've been to do at least a fair job of representing the food of their culture. When I get the chance to eat food in Greece, I will be sure to compare it.
Second is an unspoken love of mine, architecture. To look into the design of any building, new or old, you can see so much. What is even more impressive about any ancient architecture is that they did all of it without the help of modern machinery and the structures are still around today. To walk among these structures that are hundreds of years old would be simply amazing.
Finally, I am huge into history. This may or may not be surprising being a math person. But to visit a country with such a rich history and past that has contributed so much in so many ways to our modern society, that would be quite a remarkable adventure.
Have you been to Greece? What did you do? Where did you go? If not, what would you do and where would you go?
