Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

143 Days in Greece

143 Days in Greece

So, Crete was wonderful--as usual. I got off the boat, inhaled the sweet pre-dawn air, and felt immediately as though I had come home. Our hotel was right on the waterfront, and though simple, was clean and attractive and the nicest manager ever. While...

"Rockin' Year in the Berg"

Today was quite a day in Athens. I got up early with plans to go to Olympia, but found out everything closed at 3pm. Since I wouldn't get there until 11:30 with the 5 hour train ride, I figured I could find better things to do with my day. Because I...

One of our waiter friends had family in a village in the hills behind Kalkan and they took us up there to meet them. Of course we were a curiosity as not too many non-Turks visited in homes, though they did sometimes come that way. A teahouse was pe...

Athens Greece

Well as most people say.....it is good to see the Acropolis but get to the Greek Islands when you go to Greece. I will say it has changed her a bit since 1988. Most likely because of the summer Olympics that were here in 2004. They built a great Met...

Rome Study Abroad 2007

I always love how surprised I am to realize the “greatness” factor in certain areas of the globe. Take for example, Paris, France. I went to Paris during my first study abroad tour with a huge group of people from the program—and met up with my cousi...

Europe by Boat

Well, travelling europe by boat is definately putting a new meaning to working and travelling. Instead of one proceeding the other it's all happening at the same time! We have hit so many places in the last couple of months I can barely keep up!

I made it home, slightly worse for the wear. They say to not drink alcohol when crossing several time zones as it makes the jet lag worse, but then they give you free drinks on the plane! Silly people. So of course I indulged just a little. But now I'm...
