Not you too?! Not you too? Manoli, Monica, and Serena have been saying the same thing, and/or that I should write a book. I don't think I have it in me to write a novel, but a travel writer would be cool, if only some travel company would pick up the tab for my travels!

The trained bears Those trained bears were there when we were kids. Well, not the same ones, of course, those have gone to the happy non-hunting grounds long ago. Do you remember them at all, John?
I had forgotten about the Flume! How could I have forgotten about the flume? Remembering it now, it is one of my favorite places. No matter how hot it may be elsewhere, in the Flume it is always cool and wonderful. Love your descriptions of stuff. You should be a travel writer.

Mom loved those swan boats Hi John,
Mom loved those swan boats in the Boston Common area. I think that is why she collected swans. We took her with us one of our trips to New England and we all rode the swan boats - Leon, Dave, Mom, and me.
Your sister, JuJu
We will definitely go to the Butterfly Place Hey Guys,

Cottamundi? Hi,
I saw your photo of the cottamundi(?)- I just got back from Mexico where I spotted one of these animals, but had never known anything about them. Do you know much about what they are?
Thanks - Jen
Making Good Foods! Finally something that didn't involve hiking, climbing, or walking great distances. :) It looks like you guys really enjoyed the fruits of your labors.
Accommodations on Santorini Our hotel was great, but not actually in Fira and not overlooking the caldera (cliff). I can't personally recommend any other hotels in Fira, but I can tell you that you're unlikely to find many with a great view and not too many steps. There are more ups and downs than flat! Maybe a place near the northern edge where they haven't built down the cliff much yet. Good luck and enjoy, we did.
going to Santorni with my sister and mother for mother's 80th b-day. Want to go to Santorni but looking for a clean reasonable hotel that has a view and not too many steps in the heart of Fira. Can you tell me more about yours or recommend any others.
Thanks
Cave Tour Hi, sorry, but its been awhile now and I don't remember. It wasn't cheap, something like $80, but well organized and a real blast. By the way, the tours are very limited and only conducted by one tour agency I think, due to the fragility of the cave artifacts.
