The Summer of 1972
In 1972, when I was 7 years old, my family moved to Athens, Greece. The plan was to stay there for a year while dad worked for the airlines. We ended up staying for just the summer, but we’ve treasured the memories of the trip and cherished the opportunity. Someday I want to go back! I haven’t photographed all of the slides from that trip, I have abandoned my slide project until I get a new camera, but here are a few:
My brother, DJ, and I napping in the car.

We spent many days right here, at the beach. Mom is in white.
WOW! wonderful post… love reading things like this from others!!
and btw… that first photo is just so sweet, ya’ll are adorable oh and that last pic, love that lady in rollers!!!
Those rollers make me smile every time I look at this picture! I love it too!
That must have been a wonderful experience. I too would like to visit Greece on day.
It was fun! Wish we had been able to stay longer though.
Great pics! Your family is beautiful, you and your brother were such cute young’uns! =)
Thanks! It’s hard to believe that was 37 years ago. Wait. 37?! That can’t be right, because I’m NOT THAT OLD!!! I swear.
i love these pictures! what wonderful memories
Wow! What an amazing experience. I have always wished I had lived out of the country, even for a little while, just to for the experience. Greece is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go.
