Day 357: Family Reunion

Post from Michelle:

Chios is our last destination in Greece. The island has a turbulent history riddled with invasions by pirates, Romans, Venitians, and Turks, as well as destructive earthquakes. It is a fascinating island with medieval towns, huge mansions from wealthy merchants and seafarers, beaches, and unique architecture. We plan to explore and tour the major attractions but this is not our main purpose in visiting.

Our main purpose is to join Bill Kotsatos' family (the groom) as they travel here after the wedding. Bill's father grew up in Chios but left at the age of sixteen for the United States. Forty-five years later he is returning with the company of his three sons, his wife, and his new daughter-in-law to reunite with friends and family and introduce his family to their heritage. We are just tagging along, honored to witness the reunion!
