I am here ...

Nice, right? If you're still trying to figure it out, here are some better clues.

I know, I know. It's kind of mean to even post these pictures. If it makes you feel any better, we're dragging an extremely reluctant twelve year old kid around with us, and he has already made us take him to McDonalds twice. IN GREECE. It's heresy. Besides being humiliating. We spent two days tempting him with some of the best food in the world and then finally gave in and told him that McDonalds does in fact have an outpost here. Thus ending the hunger strike. I watched him wolf down two cheeseburgers in less than two minutes and cried a little inside for all the souvlaki he's missing. But life goes on.

Internet is both sporadic and slow, so this will probably be it until I get back. But I realized I didn't tell you where I was going and that wasn't very nice of me. I'll have plenty of photos when I get back and I promise they won't all be of marble columns. Just most of them.

  7. If it makes you feel any better, at the age of thirteen I, too, dragged my parents to McDonald's in both Rome and Paris, but did grew out of it. :)

  8. Greece! How fabulous! (Even with a reluctant 12-year-old.) If he doesn't come around to the deliciousness and get over his reluctance while on the trip, give him 10 years and I bet he'll be kicking himself for not taking advantage & enjoying while he was there. (I know because I've been that 12-year-old kid, minus the wanting McDonalds. Eww.)

    Have an amazing time!

  10. I'm so jealous!!! My brothers and I went to Greece for three weeks in 2002. I really want to go back. And we did go to a McDonalds ONCE. We were starving and that was the closest place. We got a McGreek, which was really a McGyro...it was so yummy.

  12. Enjoy your trip! Marble photographs well (especially when it's special ancient GREEK marble!!!)...so I'm sure nobody will protest your vacation snapshots.

    Eat ridiculous amounts of souvlaki yourself, and tell us all about it soon. :) I want to live vicariously!

  16. Is it wrong that the thing I'm most jealous about is the cherry juice? I lived off it when I was in Corfu for a week. Yum!

  18. Greece, how lovely!

    I had a friend who traveled to China frequently for work...and said that his colleagues there would always try to take him to Pizza Hut or McDonalds, as "nice" places to eat. They're everywhere!

  22. How nice! I am more than a bit jealous, but can' deny that you deserve this lovely break. I'm sorry that your son is missing out on the amazing food, but maybe he'll give some of it a try before you leave. In the meantime, you enjoy all the sun, amazing food, and wonderful surroundings!

  26. the only columns I saw today were labeled A through M in Microsoft Excel. And it wasn't even the more visually appealing mac version. So, you know, bring them on.
