Sounion, Greece. This is the Temple of Poseidon. I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled here a few times. My first introduction to Sounion was with my friend Yioryis who reminded me of the story in Greek Mythology of King Aegeus and his son Theseus. A treaty had been agreed with King Minos of Greece…
I am off on another adventure. My friend Tonya virtually insisted that I come for a visit. In past times if I was out and about traveling she would often send me a message suggesting that as long as I was in the area I should come for a visit..makes sense, right? The flight from…
In my short tenure as a world traveler i have traveled to all kinds of really cool places and seen all kinds of wonderful things as well as been able to taste the foods and enjoy the cultures. One of the things I never do when I am traveling is to eat anything that might…
As I travel about Australia doing a bit of this and a lot of that I often find that I am given considerable pause when I find myself looking at some really cool colorful plant life that I have never seen anywhere before. I am at once in a state of awe and amazement. And…
The day started out with my dragging myself out of bed at the crack before dawn, getting something to eat while watching this enormous cruise ship glide into the Circle Key port just across the bay and then putting all my stuff together and making it to the rendezvous point in time to begin the…

So I am off on my next adventure circumnavigating at least some portion of the world. I arrived in Edinburgh almost a week ago now and as is often consistent with my trips to the UK the sun was out, the birds are singing and I shared with my friend Tonya that traveling here…
I’m not sure if it was because it was just the half day tour or if was because a few of the other participants on the tour became lost from time to time, but the amount of time we were given to explore the Acropolis and Parthenon (ΠαÏθενών) was miniscule compared to the enormity…
September 1, 2011 (continued) Meanwhile back at the mother ship, all the smaller shuttles had managed to drop off all the other eager tourists just chomping at the bit for an Athenian Adventure. So, off we go to explore both the remnants of Ancient Greece as well as a more current Athens Experience.
According to my friends Yiorgis and Anguilla Demetrius is synonymous with James. I don’t often refer to myself as James although there have been others that do. Even so James is indeed my name and so whilst I am in Greece I am certainly okay with Demetrius. In fact just for fun I recently changed…
