Michael and Ijust got back from a trip to Greece with the College of Mount St Joseph. We were gone for 10 blissful days, many thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Rust for keeping Noah & Nathan!!!!! We enjoyed seeing some truly spectacular sights, eating lots of good food, finding new gelato places every day (a couple of times we ate gelato twice a day...found out it's 60 calories per scoop that made me feel better!), taking a bunch of pictures and videos and getting to explore a new place.
We stayed in Athens at the beginning and end of the trip and stayed on the island of Paros in the middle (from there we visited 4 other islands). These islands are a part of the Cycladic Islands south of Athens.
Here are a few of the pictures from our trip....if you've seen some of these on FB already, sorry! I have a blog e-mail list and I just sent it to all of you.
Here's what you're looking at from the top: the Parthenon & the Greek Agora in Athens (Parthenon is on the hill behind us), Michael on his scuba trip, the cheese wheels on the island of Despotiko (we bought one and ate it for several nights with a bottle of wine...don't worry, we shared it with 6 other people), the island of Mykonos on a day trip there, a orthodox church on the island of Paros (this is the one with the blue dome), the shoreline of Paros, finally, us standing in front of the Parthenon in Athens.
