As usual, I begin a trip with the best of intentions, intending to write about our adventures as they happen, but life isn't that organized, and travel even less so. In addition to the normal obstacles, I started this voyage with a developing illness. At first, I thought it was just allergies, but now I'm not exactly sure what it is.
Fortunately, since our first four days were in Paris, visiting with Sam's cousin Paul and his girlfriend Eva, I was well taken care of (thank you, Eva, for your lemon/honey treatments), and managed to get a fair amount of rest. The second four days of our trip, however, have been spent in Athens, a city we have never before visited, one that has so much to see and do, and like all big cities, is very crowded, noisy, and dirty. In other words, not very restful! Still, we had a great time, saw many of the sights, and I think I am slowly getting better. Hopefully, the next couple of days on the island of Santorini, will be the be the best medicine!
From this point on, internet connection permitting, I will try to fill in the blanks of the last week, add photos here and there, and hopefully, do a better job of sharing our adventures as they unfold.
