Delos
When you get home, one of the questions your friends are sure to ask are things such as what did you see? What was your favorite part of the voyage? What was the food like? We have learned of antiquities and myths, of the Greek alphabet and gastronomic delights as well. We can now look at a sign written in Greek and recognize the letters as coherent letters, not just a jumble of squiggly lines, triangles and shapes that look like the tracings of an upside-down papaya. These are words, sentences and messages written in stone to let the entire world know the stories of Greece. Judy conducted an interview with three of our younger travelers: Sofie Johnson, age 9, and Penelope and Riter Hoopes, age 9. They share with you their perspective on the Greek Isles.
What surprised them most on the Panorama? Sofie was surprised at how small the cabin was while Penelope was surprised at how big the cabin was. Everyone agreed it was fun to go swimming adding they thought the water was not too cold and very clear. The food was a hit as Sofie had custom prepared pasta while Penelope enjoyed the French fries, lemon pound cake and cucumbers. Riter was fond of breakfast. They were quite photographically busy as Riter took 240 pictures while the others lost count. On Naxos we were challenged to find the best gelato, Penelope and Riter liked the vanilla and strawberry best while Sofie was a fan of caramel with sprinkles on top. Their favorite aspect of the whole trip? A unanimous cheer for the Panorama, the caves of Milos and Peneople put it most simply: Everything!
Our last evening culminated with a production of “The Apple of Discord.” Gods and goddesses filled the lounge as the wedding between Thetis and King Peleus was portrayed in living color. An entertaining summary of our week in the Greek Isles.
