"They ran naked in Greece!" Don't be alarmed at the title of this blog because it really did happen. However, you will have to read on to find out later in this section what that was all about. Jeanette was in for a big surprise. Where do I start and how do I describe our journey through the Peloponnese to do justice to the experience? It is impossible to do, so while the enormous amount of fasc... Read Full Entry

My name is Roger and I am originally from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia but now live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My wife Jeanette and I have traveled to all the continents with the exception of Antarctica but nevertheless still have many other countries and areas that we wish to experience in the future. So far we have visited nearly 76 countries and territories worldwide, some of which we have visited multiple times and counting. We are particularly attracted to Europe and as an example, have visited Belgium six times and Spain four, making it eight times on the continent as of July 2... full info

fantastic
As usual, reading your blog is a treat. I like all of it, and I particularly like the eating with the family. that reminds me of Malta where we did something similar in one of the villages, and sat in the compressed dirt courtyard filled with pots of beautiful flowers, wonderful. The Olympic games in those days must have been a real 'eyeful' :)

As much as we have traveled
Greece still remains my favorite country. The beauty, the history, the people and the food make it so special. Your blog provided great memories. Loved the naked story and catchy title.

Well finally we're receiving your blogs.
Yes, we can see that you all are having a ball. Greece looks just like the history books - ancient and exciting. The photos are great...and at least Roger is visible in one close up. Jeanette, you must take more of him. Keep them rolling. Ty & G

Opening the pots in the kitchen
I think this is a typical Greek thing due probably to the language difficulty. I remember when we went to Greece, more than 40 years ago, we were doing just that in all the restaurants

Appreciation!
Hi Naomi, We flew in to Brussels last evening and are having a wonderful time here with Len in her beautiful apartment. I want to express how much I appreciate your comments and knowing that you are reading my blogs; it is very motivational for me because it does take effort. Since I am on the move most of the time, I write the feelings that come to me at the time but try to be conscious that I must not bore the reader. It is challenging because I have loads of pictures and have to select just a few to represent what I want to convey. i love doing it, especially since a few months ago a stranger reading one of my blogs was impressed enough to vacation in a specific place with her family as a result and was happy that she did. Keep very well, you and Bernard
