Around the World from Z to A ... G Day!

Yiassou my Galloping, Gum-chewing Friends,

This is Bart - your traveling Blogger. Today I am in Greece! Ti kanis? That means “how are you” in Greek. And yiassou means “hello”. Greek is the oldest language spoken in Europe. The Greek alphabet uses different symbols to represent letters, just like the Russian, Arabic, and Hebrew languages. Here is a link to more Greek phrases you can learn.

Greece is a peninsula surrounded by many islands, some big and some small. Visitors love to come to Greece for the relaxing beaches and beautiful crystal clear water. It is very relaxing. But some of Greece’s most famous landmarks are located in it’s capital which is on the mainland.

Today I visited the Parthenon, Athens’ most famous destination. Like the Colosseum, it is a very old structure. It was built almost 2,500 years ago as a temple. This structure is a symbol of Greece's golden age, a time when ancient Greeks invented democracy, wrote famous stories and created beautiful art. Here are some really great and gorgeous pictures: Pictures. If you scroll down there are some links to other Greek sites and there is even a virtual tour.

Now, to your request…you know how camera-shy I am. Video blogging is a BIG thing. I cannot tell you yes or no right now. But I will say that I will think about it. Ok?

I am looking forward to your next blog. I’ll log on and check it out as soon as I can. Oh, and I would really love to see how your hotels look!

Your Googling, Gobbling, and Graceful Friend,

Bart
