Enjoy traveling, live concerts and stage plays

Now that Covid restrictions are lifting, I look forward to resuming with a renewed enthusiasm to travel nationally - perhaps, the northwestern region; and internationally - looking closely at Greece.

Live concerts and stage plays are such a thrill for me to attend. The contagion of the audience that is transported to the audience by the artists or cast - and then returned from the audience is an incomparable experience that can only by truly enjoyed person-to-person.
