Greece

Nick and I went to Greece over our anniversary this year! We spent a couple of days in Athens and the rest of our time on the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. It was very beautiful there and we had great weather. We were able to spend a couple days riding around on first a scooter and then a four-wheeler (I thought 4 wheels might be safer than 2). It was a fun (if not scary) way to see the sites. Lots of crazy drivers there flying down very narrow, curvy roads, many on the edge of cliffs. Nothing like fearing for your life on vacation! Other adventures included a trip to Delos to see the ruins, a tour of the volcano in Santorini (including a dip in the hot springs), and visiting a neat winery on our anniversary.

Here are just a few pics. See more here.
