After visiting the island of Kos for 6 days we traveled to the island of Rhodes. The entry allowed us to see the very large castle of Rhodes. Inside the castle is the large Old Town with old alley ways, streets, hotels, tavernas, restaurants, and shops. We visited the old town several nights for a walk, shop and drinks. Lots and lots of tourists. We celebrated Arlene's birthday with a nice drink infront of the taverna. Again we had fun with the fellows seating you. We wanted a front seat and we got one, right on the road. We sat there for several hours just watching the crowd so well dressed almost looked like they were going to a wedding. Lots of music and good drinks. We had fun with a car rental for 3 days traveled through the beautiful dry forest, to a monastery, to the butterfly park and to very beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay Beech. I loved that beech. and on the a small village of beautiful rock laid floors and beautiful old colored buildings, and then on the the Beech of Lindlos plus other beautiful beeches. We also enjoyed the beech in the maintown. One side or the

other depending on the wind flow. So blue/green and clear. Our 6 day stay was full and again, we were on the go each day. We returned on a long overnight ferry absolutely full of tourists. We arrived back in Athens on Aug 27. We are now preparing for our new adventure to Scotland/Edinburgh and to the Highlands for 9 days and then off to London for 4 days. More excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS. No I am not tired yet.
