The Greece trip all started when a friend of mine asked if we could go to Mount Olympus and take some photos of his pickleball paddles for advertising purposes. His son operates a company that designs, manufactures and markets pickleball paddles. The paddles are named after the Greek Gods. It only took me a nanosecond to agree to the adventure.

We had never been to Greece before and decided that while we were there we should take in things beyond Mount Olympus. I planned a trip. We experienced many of the sights and sounds of Greece, including (but not limited to), meeting up with the Rose Girls.

For an account of our time in Greece refer to chapter 11 of “Exploits of a Common Adventurer Book II” by kent irwin. Is Greece really like the romantic photos you see in travel advertisements? See chapter 11.
