In Pursuit of Fear, A Greek Odyssey

Story written 24 July 2008

This is the true story of a lad who grew up with a dream and chased his fear of making it come true so far around the world that the dream found him. No names were changed because no one was innocent.

The Naxos Scooter uploaded on 24 July 2008

A friend said she wanted to see a picture of me simply having fun. I took this for her while scootering along the hills of Naxos, Greece.

Alabama Dancing Club uploaded on 24 July 2008

This was the only club in the very small village of Sougia, Crete. Really something to come across out of the blue, especially being from Alabama. Seems the owner visited the states for a period of time, and when he returned to Sougia, opened the club. Loved Sougia, anyway, but this made it feel even more homey.

Nectarius' Restaurant uploaded on 24 July 2008

Nectarius (in white shirt, waiting on customers), the owner of the restaurant, another friend, Manos, and I would sit and talk for hours, usually at the very table Nectarius is waiting on. Manos spoke fluent English, but Nectarius' was a bit sketchy at best, though still better than my Greek. Anytime I stopped by, Nectarius always referred to me as, "America." "America," he would ask, "What you eat?" Two of the nicest guys I met throughout my odyssey. Please visit if you're ever in Iraklio, Crete. Tell Nectarius, "Ime Amerikos; dhen Katalaveno." He'll smile.

This is Pension Irene I; there is also an Irene II. My room is directly above the sign. Mama Irene and Stavros are two of the nicest people I've ever met.
