Greece


Greece was so warm! We took the train into Athens to the acropolis and saw the world famous Parthenon. It was beautiful. We climbed a very large marble boulder. It is interesting to see after hundereds of years how the marble gets polished just from people's feet. After seeing the sights we of course went to a restaurant for gyros. For that is what you do in Greece, right? They were very yummy. That really is all we saw in Athens. I think everyone was kind of tired of seeing ruins.



The next day we were at the island Crete. We had a great day. We went to the area of town with all the shopping and then we took the kids back to the ship. We went and rented a couple of scooters with the Cottles and drove aways down the coast. We stopped at a local restaurant and had the yummiest greek salad ever. We had a lot of fun riding around the area and it was nice to do something different.

I have loved your photos and comments of your adventure. I've never had much of a desire to go to Egypt or Turkey but now I've added them to my travel wish-list.
Miss you!
