I told my niece Gabrielle, “You choose a place to travel this winter—just warm and keep it simple. ” She chose Greece, and that sounded perfect to me. I hadn’t been back since the summer of 1981, when I was younger and pretty naive about all things travel.
Returning now felt a bit like starting over, a novice once again, ready to rediscover a newish country—this time with a slower pace, a keener eye, and the easy company of my niece.
