the photos are all posted, but there's obviously quite a bit of explaining to do-  stay tuned!
in progress... 
blah, blah, blah...  after stopping in dallas for jentoberfest [a clever mixture of both oktoberfest AND jen's birthday]

Greece...

Athens...  acropolis, the Parthenon, temple of zeus, st. lycabettus hill, ouzo, tons of meat, & even more wine.




 

Santorini...  basically consisted of a lot of wandering the unique city of oia, with breath-taking views at every turn, and thira, the port city, for access to boat trips out to the center caldera [crater].

                                                                        

 

Mykonos...  a city designed specifically to disorient attacking pirates, worked even better on unsuspecting tourists like us, and gave the term "aimless wandering" a new meaning.  our search for the wild nightlife was a bit disappointing, although we came to truly understand the meaning of low season.  while making the rounds, we carried on with a game we came up with in santorini, based on spotting feral dogs and cats, and tallying points for various characteristics, and even more for actually getting close enough to pet them!

                                                                        

 
Czech. Republic...

Prague...  jewish museum and cemetery, mucha museum, the royal palace, and plenty of great food.
