David and I got to Greece 2 days before our oldest daughter, Tara and her Fiance',  Robert.  The four of us met at the motel and rode the subway system to Piraus.  We bought our ferry tickets on the Flying Dolphin.  We bought coffee and stood next to the docks while we drank it and people watched.  Greeks are passionate and alive when they speak.  I love that.  They are also very warm to each other and strangers...   We loaded and sped...

So my first island adventure was everything I though it would be...but about a million things time more!We did everything you are supposed to do on a Greek island. We did the beach thing, the taverna thing, the shopping thing...I even did the seafood thing! Now, I absolutely love seafood but was afraid to try it in Greece; I'm not one for my food staring back at me from the plate. So on the island I ordered shrimp!

Greece - one of the most romantic places in the World ;)

A 40 minutos en un Flying Dolphin desde el puerto del Pireo se encuentra la isla de Aegina. Su puerto es lo más bonito para ver junto con el templo de Aphaia, al que se puede llegar tomando un autobus desde el mismo puerto.

A great experience. A unique country.

We have seen the most on Aegina. It is not a very big island. When you have a few days of time, you can easily take a few moments to visit the most important things on the island.

We can go in the water together now and it is much nicer to do than Timo being alone in the water. We eat a lot, actually too much, at Vassi...

Spent a few days in Athens for an environmental conference I was giving a talk at and then toured 3 Greek Islands and went down the Pelep. to Naplion

We set out early on the train to Peiraias, where Katrina and I bought ferry tickets for Aigina.  After an uneventful ferry ride, we arranged for four taxis to take us to the Temple of Aphaia on the other side of the island.  After only a half hour on the site, we had to return to Aigina town, where we had lunch at a cafe on the waterfront.  The food was pretty mediocre, but Dimitris who owned the place was very nice.  After lunch I took the kids through the Kolonna Museum ...
