Travel Bug

Lately I've been longing to travel, itching for some place new and exotic.

(Pictures like these are to blame.)

Athens - Last Day

Well, it was two years ago today my incredible trip ended (sigh)....

So, this ends my reminiscing about the beautiful places I dream of one day returning to. I'm kind of excited to get back to my usual posting about things that make me happy and other random stuff! (Although this probably won't be the last you'll hear of my trip...)

I hope you like these photos of extraordinary Athens!

The Parthenon - may I also mention this day was the hottest Athens had experienced in over 100 years?! And there was no shade ANYWHERE. It was still beautiful though.

The Erechtheion

At the markets--me and my friends: all colors, shapes, and sizes

Greece!

I'm sorry I have been a bad blogger, this week has been crazy busy. Here are some of my photos of my last day in Italy (Sorrento and Pompeii) and my Greek cruise to Mykonos, Patmos, and Santorini!

Pompeii

Ancient streets of Pompeii

One day will erupt again...

Beautiful street of Mykonos

Don't you wish this was your patio?

Patmos

Bright little jollyboats - don't they look like toys?

The caldera of Santorini - I hiked it! And went swimming in the hot springs around it!

Easily one of the best days of my life... It was incredible.

Classic blue and white church

Stay tuned for pictures of Athens tomorrow,

Kalispera!
