In Greece
I'm just going to write a quick note from Greece. We've been here about a week and have seen Delphi, Santorini, and Sifnos. Today we're going to see the Acropolis and the other ancient sites along with the archaeological museum tomorrow before we fly to Switzerland with a one night stay in Milan. Santorini was gorgeous on the rim of a crater created by a volcano, and it features my favorite color (blue, of course), so how could I not like it? There was a lot more climbing and hiking than I expected from the guide book, but our hikes gave us some spectacular views. It was hazy though, so the pictures might not be stellar. Sifnos was a much smaller and quieter island frequented by many Athenians. The hotel owner in Sifnos took a liking to Swati and I and played tour guide during our stay there, so we really had a great time with him. Delphi was also interesting because of the temples that were built there to honor Apollo and his oracles.The food has been good, but I'm getting a tad sick of stuffed tomatoes and peppers, because that's their vegetarian staple. At least we're finding things to eat though! It's also hotter than I expected from what weather.com said, but we're managing. My Greek is getting a little better from what V taught me, and at least I can nor read it, even though I may not know what it means.
Tomorrow we're off to Switzerland, like I mentioned, where we'll visit Montreux on Lake Geneva, Lauterbrunnen (near Interlaken), and Zurich.
Yassas!
