Re: You're missing the point.
He's from Canada and is retired. His wife is Greek and he's part Greek. He's been spending a lot of time there for many years but when he retired, refurbished their place in the hills on one of the islands and they now split their time between this side of the pond where his kids are and on the island although they travel around Greece a lot, too. He raises his own organic food including olives and I'd kill for his idyllic life. He's also a fine writer.
