BTW people drive like crazy-faces in Greece
Yasu!!

We hope everyone is doing well back home. We really miss everyone! We left Crete and arrived in the Island of Rhodes last night. We're staying at a big hotel by the beach. Today we went to see the Rhodes Acropolis, and although it is less impressive than the one in Athens, we liked it because you could walk around wherever you wanted and it had a really well preserved stadium. We walked around the "old town" and we're really impressed by the castle-like walls that surrounded it. We're (mostly me, not Alex) hoping to take in the beaches because they are supposed to be some of the best in Greece.

We're wondering how everything is going at home... how is the landscaping going for the Browns? Rosslynd - have you finished Breaking Dawn? I just did... so good! Amanda, how's the wedding planning going? Mom, how did the baseball tournament go?

Well we're off to find a taverna for a few drinks. Love ya'll!

What does yasu mean?
Hi Tamara and Alex It must be pretty sunny there, with each set of pictures you guys seem more tanned. Francine is on her last week of work doing the day camps and Alice is doing fine. Mom and I got back from camping last weekend just outside of Nordegg. I had a good day on the river and caught a bull trout, a rocky, and 5 cutthroats. It was fantastic weather and the smallest cutt was about 12 inches. Mom and I are both back at work so things have slowed in the landscaping department. I hope to prepare the way for the Normandeau stone soon, maybe when you get back Alex you can help me move it into place since its not near the size of Luk's stone. Keep having fun and enjoy your time together. We look forward to your next installment of pictures and to seeing both of you back soon. Love Mom, Dad, Francine and Alice
