Dreaming of the birthplace of Athena, where the Sirens and characters like Echo, Icarus, Jason also lived, I chose Greece to be the land I traveled to first.    It is truly a land of the Gods and of yearning humans.  There are arid mountains where you could fall asleep under the olive trees, pebble beaches where you can stand peering out at sea looking for Odysseus, villages with fruit sellers selling the sweetest peaches you could ever taste from wooden wagons, and lush gardens with smells of the fragrant plants that drip scents and sweeten the air like the nectar of the gods.  I have since returned numerous times, to immerse myself in the mythical birthplace of the Titans.  The people are passionate without pretense, the sun is brilliant and warming, the earth welcoming as only Gaia can be.  It is where I first saw a red moon and where part of my heart will always remain, yearning.
