Destinations: Headed home
http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/headed-home.html
Monday, May 12, 2008. Yesterday we took a ferry from Mykonos back to Athens, enjoyed our last Greek salad and packed up our bags to come home. This morning we flew from Athens to London and are currently waiting for our flight to Chicago. Hopefully things will go smoothly and we will get in to DFW at 11pm tonight (Monday). Anyway soon we will be back to the good old dollar. I can't wait! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some of the Many Things I am Thankful For. Our night out in Mykonos. Or at least t.

Saturday, May 3, 2008. After picking up our jaws as we left Hagia Sofia we walked down the street to the entrance of the Underground (Major) Cistern - once a storage facility for precious water, now a tourist attraction and concert hall (they say the acoustics are wonderful!

Saturday, May 10, 2008. While watchingthe sun set. While we were finishing our dinner we were suprised to see the familiar face of an Argentinian chemical engineer that had been staying at our hosel in Santorini. We invited him to join us, then the three of us wandered the streets of Mykonos village. And very tan. I think you might be headed home today. We are in Bangkok today and tomorrow and then i head home to my baby! May 11, 2008 at 7:39 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Diving in Santorini :).

Destinations: Hagia Sofia
http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/hagia-sofia.html
Saturday, May 3, 2008. The Hagia Sofia rivals and threatens to surpass the Taj Mahal in grandeau and appeal (especially since Agra is a dump and Istanbul is a fabulous city.) If I had to rank them I would give Taj #1 in outside appearance, but Hagia Sofia takes the cake from the inside! 1 The Dome of Hagia Sofia. 2 Claire and I in front of the alter that marks the direction of Mecca. 5 An example of the magnificent mosaics - this is Jesus.

http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/some-of-many-things-i-am-thankful-for.html
Monday, May 12, 2008. Some of the Many Things I am Thankful For. Sitting on the flight from Athens to London I began reflecting on my trip and I became overcome with gratitude. There are so many people and so many things for which I feel thankful. This is a list of just a few of the many:. 1 The generous donors and the Center of Humanities and Ethics who selected me to have this experience and supported me throughout it. 6 The villagers who invited me into their homes during visits with CHAD, alsays happ...

Destinations: Athens day 2 continued
http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/athens-day-2-continued.html
Sunday, May 4, 2008. Athens day 2 continued. The bus stup was a challenge to find, but we had a wonderful adventure unsuccessfully trying to navigate the narrow walkways of the market. Eventually we saw one of the buses and flagged it dow - luckily they were kind enough to stop for us! View of Acropolis from the Agora. At the top of the hill we hiked up.with Acropolis in the background. Looking down on Ancient Agora. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some of the Many Things I am Thankful For. Some of t...

Destinations: Hydra - I love the Greek islands!!! (or at least the one that I have been to)
http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/hydra-i-love-greek-islands-or-at-least.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Hydra - I love the Greek islands! Or at least the one that I have been to). Our first island stop was Hydra.Amazing! Hydra is a quaint peaceful island that does not allow motorized vehicles so transportation is either by foot, by boat, or by donkey. :) Its great! It is easy to see why the Greek Government and the Council of Europe have declared the island of Hydra a national treasure (thats why there are no cars). :). For anyone who is looking for a vacation spot where there is no...

Destinations: Ferry to Santorini
http://destinations-jami.blogspot.com/2008/05/ferry-to-santorini.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Ruins on one of the islands we passed by on the way to Santorini. Today we took a ferry from Athens to Santorini.a brief 8 hour journey. It was a cool experience and we saw some beautiful scenery. Once we arrived we basically settled in to our room, familiarized ourself with Fira (the town we are staying in), and found an internet cafe. :) Exciting d. Coming in to Santorini it looks like little toy houses sitting on top of the cliffs. It is really beautiful! Love the pictures baby!
