Santa Barbara AHEPA Chapter 243

Former US leader George Bush in Greece
Former United States president George Bush arrived at the Megas Alexandros (Alexander the Great) interational airport of Chrysoupolis, near the coastal city of Kavala in northern Greece, on Monday, accompanied by his wife Barbara, their twin granddaughters and friends, to begin a vacation in the region. The former president and his entourage flew by helicopter to a cruiser anchored at the port of Nea Peramos the previous day under tight security. A smiling George Bush briefly walked on the vessel's deck with his wife and grandchildren before going inside the yacht, which sailed off into the northern Aegean Sea at noon, accompanied by a coast guard vessel. Bush Sr. is expected to also visit the all-male Orthodox monastic community of Mount Athos, as he has done in numerous previous visits to Greece.
