On Charter in Greece

Sorry I have been a bad blogger lately. I have to log on now because Grandma is online! Welcome to the blogging generation Grandma. I promise some new pics of the Carribean soon. I just have to find my battery for my camera first and then I should be in business. I had a blast with everyone at Christmas. Here are some picture from this summer. Sorry about not explaining them too good, but I have to go catch this Russian guy a fish off the back of the boat.

There are not many shady trees on these islands

Santorini



Rhodes is full of funny sunburned Britts

If your gay and want to have a good time, Mykonos is the island for you

Us and Polar Star

Yep, just sandals. There are lots of them around.

Barcelona

Barcelona is a beautiful city that is teaming with life. The people there are equally beautiful and unique as well. My week was highlighted by strolling down Las Ramblas and watching the street performers, eating tapas for every meal, and seeing the one of the best soccer players ever, Ronaldino, play for the Barcelona football club.

This is one of the best markets in all on Europe

Would you like a finger with that?


I almost got sick because I drank so much fresh fruit juice at the market

Catalona's famous Iberico ham

There are many beautiful building

Cruising through Barcelona's Gothic district


I think on of these would go over good in the valley

The boys at Nou Camp

Sagrada Familia


One of many Guidi masterpieces in Barcelona

Madeira

We have been crossing the Atlantic now for the last 12 days. While we were cruising south of Madeira, I thought I would put up a few photos from last January. Madeira is totally cool. We had some engine problems and we were stopped there for a week. As for this crossing. It has been pretty lame. Not much excitement. The 2nd engineer had a really bad tooth ace for a while and we thought we were going to have to stop in the Canary islands. But it got better. Darn!! I can't wait to get to Florida. My folks and Aunt sherry are coming in on Nov. 2nd. I can wait.


Madeira's is famous for their wine


Every corner was a new dramatic scene




Madeira doesn't get much tourism because there are no beaches. This lady was wondering what we were doing in her town.



Gavin and I doing the "boulder dance"


I'm not sure how high these sea cliffs were. Try to find the car in the picture.




I was so happy when I heard we had engine problems

Athens

Athens is dirty, polluted, and crowded. There are lots of stray dogs, and it seams like you are in a third world country walking the streets. But like most places that are a little sketchy, Athens has plenty of charm, and it lets you see the true Greek culture and lives of its regular people.
I thought I would never see this place


Everything is Greek to me


Gareth-South Africa, Graham-England, and Damien-France


walking through the La Plaka market

The weird candy man

The only thing this place is missing is a rocking band

This was my best Greek god pose

Hippie purses


I bet this lady can cook a mean leg of lamb


The Parthenon is truly amazing

This is what Steve's uniform would look like if they let homosexuals in the Secret Service


The Acropolis dominates over the entire city

I felt really new standing next to something so old


The fellas enjoying the sites after work


I saw this sign after I rubbed my grubby fingers all over the marble. oops



I should know what this is, but I don't
