Ode on a Grecian Urn

I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not a history guy. I took history the one year it was mandated in high school and that was it. I just am not a fan about reading about what happened in year's past.

That all changes when I go to Europe, however. I have a greater appreciation for the past when I'm walking around where it actually happened. I am amazed at how old buildings were built up hill tops and through mountains when we could barely construct similar facades and structures today.

Greece is filled with ruins of history. It's pretty impressive and humbling at the same time.
