And then there is Greece

---

Hi there, we are furiously trying to catch up on these blogs but there really is not enough hours in the day.

Greece was absolutely fabulous - we both fell in love with it - the people, the beauty, the food. Really I think I was Greek in a past lifetime. It felt like home. The people are boisterous,loud, and talk fast and with their hands. It was great. The greek salad was to die for. We only spent a few weeks there and wanted to return but the euro was killing us and we had to make some very important financial decisions.

We kept to the Dondanese Islands - Rhodes, Kos and Leros.

Rhodes is fabulous. The town is a walled city with old cobblestone streets and houses with tiny tiny doors. So cute. We rented a car for a few days and drove around the whole island. It was spectacular. A picture is worth a thousand words. There was definitely the WOW factor in there for me. Love it!!!

Kos is north of Rhodes and has a thriving tourist business. It was a little too touristy for us but it did have a castle.

Leros is a tiny island that tourism hasn't really found yet. We rented a bike (again) for this island.

We tried to add more photos but the computer and screaming kids sitting next to us were working against the product.
