Europe

Beautiful flower boekavia (sp?) was everywhere, it was gorgeous.
The island of Santorini-they built the town into the cliff, it was great to go in shops, art galleries, churches, and eat awesome food.


Athens, Greece- The Parthenon
It was amazing to be in the presence of such ancient art! We enjoyed seeing many ruins, including Corinth where Paul preached, and we hiked the Acro-Corinth, which was this very tall fortress that was occupied from Biblical times through Mideval times.
Beautiful church in Florence, Italy
Theater on the way up to the Acropolis, they have restored the seating and do plays and operas.

Shops built into a bridge in Florence, many years ago it was the town's trade center.
Cinque Terra- We hiked from one small seaside town to another on our anniversary! It was an amazing hike, though the hike was small and very steep, the views were breathtaking.
Enjoying the canals of Venice! We took a boat over to the island of Morrano, where the famous Morrano glass is blown and made.
