Most of the visitors were from the United States followed by Greece, Russia, France, Germany, Ireland, Canada, Ukraine, United Kingdom and Malaysia in that order.

The picture is from Poseidon’s Temple in Sounion.    It is a place you can enjoy the expanse of the Aegean Sea and the blue of the sky that inspire people when there, so here are some thoughts first in Greek and followed by its translation

Σουνιο, Βραυρώνα, Ναξος, Κρυφο Μανδρακι
Είμαστε πλασμένοι γι'αυτες τις μικρές τις χώρες
Και οι αρχαίοι ναοί που η μουσική τους αντηχεί στο πέλαγος
Αυτος ειναι ο ύμνος της αγάπης μας μεσα στην απεραντοσύνη του γαλάζιου

Sounion, Vravron and Secret Mandrakion

we were born and attached to these places

their Ancient Temples and hymns that

resonate in the sacred Aegean

 and echo

our love's story in the immense expanse

of the blue sky and sea.

On this first day of 2018, I wish you all, your families and friends a Happy New Year.
