Quote:I asked my parents, and they said this plan was really goodI hope your enthusiasm will convince your parents that they like to go to Greece as well!
Here's a trick: go to the library and get a book with many, many photos of pieces of art. In Dutch we use the expression "coffee table book": a book that is not just for reading, but for display when visitors arrive, so that -while you are making coffee- they have something pleasant to look at. Make sure that this book is always somewhere in the room, and no doubt your parents will -when they have nothing to do- leaf through it and be impressed. (That's how I made my father pay a trip to Rome, back in 1984.) :wink:
