I am back!

 
Dear friends,
After several weeks of absence I am back home. I was visiting the place of my roots " Greece". I am back and my heart is full of family time, places we visited, sun, sea and great memories. I think the attached pictures I took, will give you a small taste of my stay in this sunny and beautiful part of Europe that is suffering so much because of the dire economic conditions that its people are going through.
