Greece is the "cradle of democracy" and its influence on Western Civilization is vast. This presentation will provide some historical and current context on this fascinating and complicated country. We will visit the capital, Athens as well as the center of the ancient Greek world, Delphi and one of Europe's oldest civilizations on the island of Crete. In addition, the presenter's daughter is on a 10-month Fulbright fellowship in Athens, so some background on that program and many photographs from two recent trips will round out the presentation.
