Greek Islands Craig and Toni,
Bonnie and I went to Athens, Capri, Mykanos, Ephesus and Istanbul. We enjoyed that part of the world alot (with the exception of Athens).
Hello Hi Guys! Sorry we hadn't been getting notices and just started catching up on your travel. Fun read. We'll figure out how to get notices... See you soon.
sorry we didn't check the emails hello Andrew, what a shame that I just figured out how to read comments on the blog, it would have been great to see you. we're now in Dijon and onward but we do return to Paris the night before we leave for Athens on June 3. I'll call you today or tomorrow and maybe we can figure out how to catch up!!!
Paris Pictures are amazing, love the blog! I sent you a facebook message, I am living in Paris and would love to meet up! You can give me a call at +33648783677 or email at andrew.scott.easton@gmail.com
welcome to Europe I also like Aesop fable, but the appropriate literature right now, would be the greek mythology. Europe is a greek word and not only for this reason I am sure that it will always be part of the european community (hopefully for the greeks sake though with another currency because the Euro is way to strong for them).
According to the creek mythology Europa (Greek Ευρωπη) was a Levantine woman in Greek mythology, from whom the name of the continent Europe was ultimately taken. She was seduced by the god Zeus in the form of a bull and carried away to Crete on his back. Zeus was enamored of her and decided to seduce or rape her, the two being near-equivalent in Greek myth. He transformed himself into a white bull and mixed in with her father's herds. While Europa and her female attendants were gathering flowers, she saw the bull (the symbol of the Frankfurt stock exchange is a bull) and caressed his flanks and eventually got onto its back. Zeus took that chance and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity and Europa became the first queen of Crete. Zeus later re-created the shape of the white bull in the stars which is now known as the constellation Taurus.
....have fun in France
up and away... Hi Kincaids~ Glad you are out there already. we leave June 3rd and will see you soon after. had a root canal and other stuff but should be good in June. Love Ya
we're having the time of our life. as much as we love our home, the desire to visit new and old places has burned within us since we were in college. only a few states in the US that we haven't visited and many that we want to revisit. during Craig's career importing hardwood lumber, he traveled to Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, E and W Malaysia, Taiwan and Indonesia. before she met Craig, Toni traveled every summer to Europe, Mexico and Southeast Asia. we've visited every Hawaiian island except Lanai and Molokai and driven to Mulege in Baja, Mexico. Craig surfed near Zihautenejo... full info
