Greece is the "cradle of democracy" and its  influence on Western Civilization is vast. This presentation will provide some historical and current context on this fascinating country. We will  visit the capital, Athens as well as the center of  the ancient Greek world, Delphi and one of  Europe's oldest civilizations on the island of Crete.  In addition, the presenter's daughter was on a 10- month Fulbright fellowship in Athens, so some  background on that program and of  course many photographs!

Registration is required.
