The island of Mykanos.

Christina at Temple of Poesidon outside of Athens Greece.

Photo of the harbor at Amoudi looking up to Oia.

I felt like I had crawled into the many yearly calendars I have of Greece when we were in Santorini. I was always amazed by the beauty and didn't quite believe that the photo's were not manipulated in some way as they looked like they had been colored and that no place on this planet could truly look so spectacular. Santorini however does exist and is even more beautiful than the photo's convey.

View of Santorini from the volcanic island.

Us at Trevi Fountain in Rome. I for one wished to come back with my coin...but in my heart, I wish for Florence alone...and no Rome.

Christina in Florence, in front of the Domo. Yes, we walked up the 398 stairs to the top...what an amazing structure- and City!

I had a nice weekend (the first in 3 weeks of not walking all day). It was great to see friends on Sat. as it is connections with people which is the essence of life and I feel blessed by those I know.
