Sight

I first noticed it upon arrival in Athens, this near obsession with potted plants that the Greeks seem to have.  Although most of them do not have yards to landscape, everyone still seems to have an innate desire to nurture, grow, and cultivate life.  

Sense of Creativity

Sound

It interests me to see how Zoey exerts sound not only to communicate with both Greeks and Americans but also all other creatures. She can be heard crowing to roosters, neighing to horses, and interacting with all of life around her.

Touch

Our delicate American skin was not prepared for the vicious insect attacks we would encounter at night.

Smell

Back home we live in a place in which the only animals around are the ones we allow to be in our presence. Our kennels and pooper scoopers prevent us from being exposed to anything unpleasant. Its refreshing to be reminded that we are not the only creatures on the planet here in Skopelos.

Taste

I had never before realized the importance of eating produce seasonally until our arrival in Skopelos.

The ability to go pick a ripe fig right off the tree will make it difficult to ever feel the same about food back home.
