Europe - Day Seven

Beginning of our Cruise and the City of Mykonos

If I could move to Greece, Mykonos would be my first pick.

Me through the porthole
Another EF tour group. Poor Paulo was their tour director, and these ladies introduced themselves as, "You may call me Doctor, and my sister Professor." I shake my fist at them.
Mykonos!
Seashell stand
Squids for everyone.

Ceiling in the honey shop.
Em and I compare purchases.
The most amazing picture I've ever taken in my life, and it was by complete accident. I should crop it.

Europe - Day Six

Athens: Acropolis, Olympic Amphitheater, Changing of the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Breakfast in Athens.

View of Acropolis

Umbrella guy got chased by one of the German Shepherds.

We loved it.

Aunt Susan - Too cool for school
Joe's drinking enough water.
Mop hair - Shrug, I really have no explanation.
Top of the Acropolis
View through the Temple of Athena.

Sticker stuck in her hair.
Dad surviving the microburst.
Em visually explains the wind whipping us by the Parthenon.
Dad, Em, the wind, and the Parthenon
This dog hated the umbrella salesman, and dad rewarded him with a nice cold drink.

Aunt Susan gets a cold one.
Olympic Amphitheater (Still used)
Still kicking myself that I didn't buy the blue one. I should have held it for a little longer ...
Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Athens
Poo Dinner - Super blech

Europe - Day Five
Epidaurus, Pottery Place, Treasury, Fortress, and Athens

Epidaurus Amphitheater

Em and Anna on their way up.

Annie sings, and we are shocked at her skills.

If the performer stands on the circle, the limestone will pick up every note.

Cute little sweeper outside of the Epidaurus museum.

View from the bus. I loved the architecture. Makin' pots.

Makin' pots take 2.

Em outside of the Treasury. Inside the treasury. Check out Eileen in the background.

We found true treasure tucked into a small crack. He must have been so tuckered out. Fortress across from the Treasury that we were about to climb. View from part way up.Moussaka! Corinth Canal.

I had to run across the street to capture this boat, he was going right underneath me at me first. My dad semi-grumpily called out to ask what I was doing , then got excited with me and bolted.

Em playing it cool among the cats that hung outside of where we ate dinner in the hotel at Athens. They gratefully accepted all of our leftovers.
