[The culture] appealed to my senses. It was a very sensual thing. I love the smells, sights, the sounds, feelings, tastes. My senses tend to be more sharp in Greece. |
I fell in love with the land, the culture and the history. |
I like the warmth in the people. They love to meet foreigners. People take you into their lives and homes. |
My grandparents had a house full of books. They were both fluent in several languages. My grandfather was a scholar in biblical literature, and my grandmother was a poet. They planted a seed that grew when I went to college and took some classics classes. |
