RE: Longing places (english - german)

in #travel6 years ago

Those photographs are simply stunning! Looks just like something from one of those "vacation" brochures! I must also add, that your addition of both English and Deutsch was very well done. Also... I just have to comment on one of the things you said:

This is Greece. Certainly, this hospitality has been partially lost among the younger generation but still exists in most parts of the population.

You are not alone in this!! Even in the States, it is still the same lol... more focus on... "me", "PlayStation", and "cell phones"... Your story of helping the gentleman push his car reminds me of a similar memory of mine while I was in the Service...

When we were not out in the field doing military business, I would walk for several blocks away to see the scenery. Mind you... this was in Schweinfurt, Germany. So then; this particular day, a gentleman saw me walking... my attire was black sweat pants, black leather jacket, high and tight hair cut... and headphones! Anyway... I guess the gentleman was... fascinated? He invited me into his home, shared some fresh bread, cheese, and wine... THEN... took me for a tour of his immense vineyard. Sadly... the photos were taken with a camera that was stolen before I left the service. Perhaps we should send some of these teenagers to the opposite ends of the world lol... reality check!

Anyway... thank you, my friend, for taking us with you on your special journey...

Thank you so much for passing by @wesphilbin. These memories stay forever in our mind. I wish all egotists should have such an experience, maybe that would change their attitude a bit. Many thanks.
