Drop by drop the jug is filled… ~ Greek Proverb HE SAID... Today we were continuing to explore the ancient city of Athens.

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)!
