Laura and Matt in front of the Parthenon...
note Laura wearing Matt's shirt, Matt's 5 o'clock shadow...
Laura and Matt's bags haven't arrived from Amsterdam yet.


Changing of the guard in front of the house of parliament
and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Athens.
Formal highland uniforms-very stylized and exaggerated march step.
Change every hour of the day. Uniforms white on Sunday.


Windmills which overlook the Mykonos harbor.
Above the Venetian quarter of the city.


Matt with the house cat of the Hotel Semeli in Mykonos.
Beautiful views from near the top of the hill
overlooking the city.


Delos, birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. A brief boat
ride from Mykonos. Spent 3+ hours there, would be easy to
spend a lot more.


So much stuff on Delos. Basically the entire (rather small)
island is temples and agoras and ruins and on and on and on.


Santorini, or Thira. Volcanic cone. The center of the cone
peaks up above the sea (where this is taken from), then an almost
totally enclosed stretch of water with the cliffs of the crater
rising above. Towns built right up on the lip. There's a dome
in the right half, our hotel was right behind it.


Volcanic black sand beach on the outside edge of the Santorini
cone. In season this is packed--while we were there, almost deserted.


Sunset from Oia, northern tip of Santorini. Advertised as
most beautiful in the Mediterranean. The other island is the
far side of the cone.
