I visited Athens, Greece, and their surrounding islands, for two weeks during the good times years ago. All was calm and beautiful. Food was abundant and delicious although they sure use a lot of grape leaves when they cook. I ate Baklava, that wonderful dessert of thin pastry and honey, every time I could. I walked the very street Apostle Paul walked in Corinth. That part has been left as it was when Paul was there. The water delivery system was also left the way it was then and that was an efficient way to move water around the town with tiled channels.

What I see happening now, wouldn't have been believed back then. I don't think anyone could go there now and see that beautiful place. And, I wonder what is happening in the Greek Islands. Their goods are brought to them by boat. What is happening to those people? Is there enough or any cultivatable ground on those islands to produce the food they need? I doubt it and those islands tend to be very hilly - like limited flat land at sea level, then walk up the hill to hotels, restaurants, shops. Thinking about it, I would bet grapes are the main product of those islands. I could be wrong about that and hope they can grow food.

I've traveled to many countries and I couldn't go to those countries now due to the turmoil around the world. I do think about that and it is sad.
