Greece

Sorry for the unoriginal title. I'll just add a few quick notes about our current activites. But first, I want to say that it's quite nice logging on and reading the posts from yall back home. It's comforting to know that life still moves on as we knew it, and it's nice to hear from some familiar faces. So thanks, we like hearing from you. Hopefully you all enjoying reading our blurb from time to time.

So, we're in Athens today, awaiting the start of a 10-day Greek island hopping trip. Tomorrow we go to Paros, followed by two other similiarly Greek named places. All quite beautiful and quite hot. I think Becca and I (and Angie and Krissy) will thoroughly enjoy the relaxation that has been promised during the next few days.

The days leading up to this, especially for me, have been rather hectic. We finished off our bus trip de Diablo from Berlin (where we had our last post), to Amsterdam to Calais to Dover to London over the past 6-7 days or so, but I had caught some kind of European plague, so I didn't get to enjoy these places much. They all, to me, looked quite similar--like the inside of hostel room. Needless to say, I'm happy to have left that segment of the trip behind. Becca might have some highlights to share, but she was a bit under-the-weather, too.

We both miss our dear La Crosse and beloved Mississippi, and folks and family and friends back home. Hope to see you all soon!

Cheers,
-Andy (and Bec)
