GREECE

our next stop was athens, greece! we have been so blessed to be able to go to all of these countries. it has been absolutely amazing. we miss our boys like CRAZY though. if i even mention their names i start to get teary eyed :)..i know they're in good hands, i just miss 'em :). however, this trip was an awesome opportunity we just couldn't pass up..and is probably something we'll never do again. i never thought i would be able to see all these places in person. it really has been such a neat experience.
like i've said before, i'm using my blog as my journal to record our trip etc. i'm not connected to the internet right now...i'm just recording this offline on my laptop...whenever i have a quick internet connection i try and post. pictures say it better than words (at least for me) so here's a quick look at greece. scott, this next picture is for you! we did just as you said...as soon as we were able to get off our cruise ship we went straight to a place to try the food :). and you were right, it was really good!... all of us @ the acropolis...the pantheon...looking down at athens...that's the temple of zeus behind me in the back center of the pic...a closer look at the pantheon. it's so CRAZY to see all this in person and realize how OLD these buildings are. i never thought i would be able to see ANCIENT greece. just so cool...a cool temple at the bottom of the acropolis hill...another look at the pantheon...

darla, larry, and ben with the flag of greece behind them...
these women holding up this ceiling are really famous, i just forgot what they're called :). i'll find out...one of the olypic stadiums for the 2002 olympics. after all, the fist olympics ever were held in greece!...we went to the fish market :). look at the octopus!...
