On a recent trip to Greece and Turkey, I enjoyed visiting the amazing ancient ruins, including the Acropolis, Philippi, Meteora, and Ephesus. I loved the design language, the way the cities were laid out, and the incredible artistry. I marveled at how they accomplished all of this with ancient tools and no electricity.

I was also amazed by the ancient marble steps, which were incredibly slippery in the rain and sometimes even when dry. With the endless towers of marble steps, I would have been a busy, busy therapist back then with all of the slips, trips, and falls they probably experienced.
