Greece
We spent 2 days in Athens and walked around tons of tiny little streets and ate great food! We saw the Parthenon and lots of other ancient sites. We had a nice hotel with easy access to all we wanted to see. We had a great happy hour (that lasted a few hours) with a view of the Parthenon and the sunset. Unfortunately we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 in the morning. We got to Santorini at 6:30 and I was hurting! Luckily our hotel had a nice pool that we got to rest by until our room was ready. The main town in Santorini is exactly what you would expect of Greece. The hotels and restaurants are built right into the cliff and the views are amazing. We had a wonderful dinner during sunset last night. The food here is sooo yummy! We have eaten tons of Greek salads and Gyros. I think I could live off them. We are going on a boat trip today to a volcano, hot springs and a fishing village, Oia, on the other side of the island where it is supposed to be even more beautiful. Tomorrow is our last day here and we are renting mopeds to tour the island and the beaches.
We have been missing Abby, of course, but the Martin's send us lots of picture updates. Every baby we see we go crazy over and wonder how old they are and talk about Abby. We are so thankful for the time together but wish time could stand still so we would stand still so we wouldn't have to miss Abby.
