We are on the Greek Island of Mykonos and the sun is setting on these dreamers and this lovely white-washed town. Many, many tourist, it's true. But anyone can find a lonely outcroping or crag to watch the sun go down. Our ferry ride to Greece went smoothly--everything is going smoothly now. This is an easy group, a high functioning group. Hall and I are lucky.
On the way to Athens, we stopped for Souvlaki as Bryant and Jennifer S. are showing to you. This was 110 steps from the Corinth Canal and I have two more sun-going down shots for you. Jennifer R. shows her smile--she's been smiling the whole trip. Crista S. and Natasha B. also are enjoying the view of this deepest of man-made gorges. Crist and I have been trying to figure out which monuments were named to the new Wonders of the World. News is hard to come by. We think we know six of the seven. The Coliseum, Great Wall of China, Stonehedge, The Egyptian Pyramids, The Taj Mahal, The Acropolis and what else? I hope it's Machu Picchu or Tikal. Let me know.
Oh, yes, here's one more picture of Liz with her MooShoo. We got into Athens late, and I think she was getting a little homesick. April and Cleo are listening to her talk to a stuffed cow. We stay so busy that most don't have time to reflect. But we all have those moments. I've had more than my fair share. Hey Barb, Maddy, Nora, Jake, and Louis--I miss and love you all.
Truly,
LV
