Here I am, mxing up my geography again...posting photos of Egypt while writing from Greece. Considering the hours it would have taken to do this in Egypt versus the minutes it's going to take here, I think I have a good excuse this time.
We've been in Greece for almost a week now. This was supposed to be the "relax and recuperate" part of our vacation, but despite the nice weather and great scenery (ink-blue sea water surrounding picturesque islands) Greece is a little fast-paced and impersonal for our liking. Admittedly, the island life is better than Athens so we're warming up to it.
Aside from eating Greek Salad and drinking Ouzo every day, there's not much else to report. After seeing the Acropolis, we've decided that no ruins in the world will ever compare to the Pyramids and temples in Egypt. Despite having been built 2000 years later, the Greek installations are all crumbling and plain - no colour, just white marble (ho hum!) Anyway, as far as Caitie and I are concerned, our island time will be much better spent tanning to make up for all those clothes we had to wear in Egypt. And though Caitie
and Dad are heading back to sunny Montreal, I'm about to head north to the not-so-sunny UK...better to stock up on Vitamine D while I have the chance!
Hope the weather is behaving for all you folks back home!
