Yesterday I had an amazing day, in Athens, along with some of the most interesting people I have met in the latest years. Big thanks to @skapaneas and @mariandavp for the beautiful gifts; @onceuponatime, @liondani, @kerkyra, @terrybrock, @rouketas, @evimeria, @mariossap - and forgive me I am forgetting someone - it was incredible that we met in person!
Our walks led us to the Akropolis museum.
A couple of quotes from Epicurus following a conversation with @terrybrock on the definition of time and existence:
“Of all the means to ensure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.”
“Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist”
Hope I can make it to Portugal!!
Great to be with you. Here are some extra pictures you will enjoy
A great to of being with friends, making new friends, and seeing great sites. Thank you for helping to make it all happen.
It was awesome meeting you Terry!
Thank you, marian. I feel the same way. I really enjoyed talking with you, Tina, and the others at the table. We could have continued for many more hours. Perhaps we can do that someday when Gina, my partner, can join us as well. I know you two would have a lot in common. All the best to you!
Looking forward to that day! Please send our regards to Gina and don't forget to consider our business idea that will make us trillionaires!
You betcha!
Well if anybody would deserve that than the people of Greece - considering what Goldman Sachs has done to the cradle of democracy.
Awesome pics - I was in Greece a few decades ago - the Akropolis was too expensive for me at that time ;-) Was just a student then on a low budget ;-)
Well next time you come you ll be a cryptomillionaire and you ll probably won't have time for the acropolis...
I actually did prefer the islands anyways - spent a good amount of time on several of them ;-)
Can't wait to meet you, @Mariandavp, and to learn about your ideas!
Great work on these pictures and the story. Thank you for the mentions and quote from my buddy, Epicurus. Great to talk with you and I look forward to more conversations in the future. I have resteemed you and upvoted you on this. Hope you have a great day!
Nice to meet you in person! Thank you for supporting me!
You betcha! I look forward to seeing more of you work.

Ο αγγελος γιατι αδυνατισε ετσι? δεν τον πηγατε για κανα σουβλακι??? :)
Η @mariandavp λεει οτι παντα ετσι ηταν...
Epicurus was an awesome philosopher and I love those quotes, he did get one thing wrong though:
"A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs."
I'm gonna let him off though because he died in 2287 BS (Before Steem)
Will have to get myself to the next one of these gatherings, when the one in Portugal and who is organising it?
It is self funded and will take place early november i think..it is posted regularly...
Και ακροπολη ; τελεια!
☺☺☺
Whatever and wherever, friendships remain number one. Because with our friends know the world, because friends are born various kinds of creative ideas, because friends can easily solve every problem, because friends born to us high social value, because friends also information and science easy we get. Friends are part of your life, so take care and do not hurt them.
And friends are the family we choose, not the family we were born in!
Indeed we had such a great time !
