My son continued his European tour by joining a college buddy's family and continuing with them. I flew home, they went to Italy. In Venice, he gave a magnet to a glassblower. I'm sure they had an art talk since his childhood pal's father and stepmother are both glassblowers.

Next stop Greece. After Italy it was hard to be impressed. This was his comment on Athens: "Anyways, Athens was a huge disappointment to me. After coming from Rome were everything seemed beautiful, Athens felt like I was in just another big city...and then boom!!! There are ancient ruins staring you in the face." Adam went to the Acropolis and hung out in the park area. It was a very hot day and he noticed that one woman, a vendor, looked miserable in the heat. He went to her and handed her a magnet thinking that a small gift might brighten her day just a bit. Later in the day, she came to him while he was lounging in the shade of a tree and gave him a bottle of water.
