In October, Tim got to travel to Athens, Greece for the Near East South Asia (NESA) Fall Leadership Conference. Tim enjoyed meeting new people and the workshops he attended but he was also able to visit many of the sites he had learned about from his undergraduate degree in Classics while at Acadia University.
Tim got to tour the Acropolis where the Parthenon still remains from when it was first completed in 438 BC.
Tim did a lot of walking while in Athens and saw many historical sites including Hadrian's Arch and the site of the 1896 summer olympics.
A special day trip was organized for the conference delegates to visit Delphi and the Ossios Loukas Monastery which is only 1000 years old.
Greece is a very beautiful country and it was great to see the olive and almond orchards.
