Greece!


Well we are taking our "new" car about 4.5 hours south today to the Greek island of Thassos. While I was certainly looking forward to some beach time in order for me to start working on my base-tan for the wedding...I am sad to see that Mother Nature did not get the memo that I requested 90 degree days and 75 degree nights. As per our usual, we will be greeted by cool days, cold nights, and rain. In my next life, I am going to seek a life-partner who is known for his affinity to attract sunshine.

At any rate, I am super excited to drive into Greece. If you look at this map, you will see where we are going right in the center.
