This site is a guide to some of the places we have visited. This is more of a journal of what we did than a definitive guide to these places. Traveling is more about living the experience than documenting every momement. So, if your favorite landmark is missing, it does not mean we did not see it, only that I did not take a picture.

<p>This is a photograph of the colossal statue of the Samian kouros that was excavated in 1980 at the Hēræon (aka Hēraion or the goddess Hēra’s sanctuary) on Samos Island, Greece. The statue was created in ca. 580–570 BC and originally stood at the North edge of the “Sacred Way”.<br />
<br />
The estimated height of the statue was 15.6–17.2 ft (4.75–5.25 m). It was made of typical Samian grey-white banded marble. The entire statue was painted with red-brown ochre with a rosette on the chest; details (hair, eyes, lips etc.) were painted in other colors. An inscription carved on nthe left thigh reads: ΙΣΧΗΣ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕΝ Ο ΡΗΣΙΟΣ [ Isches, the son of Rhesis, dedicated (this statue) ]. The statue is exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Samos.</p>](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55509108066_0a2a5a5164_s.jpg)
