Europe pics!

I’ll attempt to share a few pics of our trip, We started our journey in Sorrento, Italy and spent 2 nights there which included a ferry ride to Capri Island. Italy can be summed up with tiny cars, motorcycles/scooters and crazy drivers! It was beautiful in the spring and the citrus trees were full of fruit!

We then headed to Rome for 3 nights and stopped at Pompeii with an awesome view of Mount Vesuvius.

Some highlights in Rome was the Colosseum and the Vatican. I had no idea there are 6 mummified popes there! We saw three of them!

The Vatican is worth a look. It has amazing frescos, sculpture, tapestry and architecture. The opulence is overwhelming. We then flew from Rome to Athens, Greece to continue our archeological adventure. First stop was to visit the Corinth Canal.

The canal was closed so we did not get to see any boats getting towed through but it is so deep and pretty. We could see the ruins of ancient Corinth on top of the hill…..I had no idea that New Testament Corinthians I and II were letters written to folks in modern day Greece! You think holy lands…..and you think more east in the Mediterranean. This trip definitely connected some dots that you just don’t get in a school education, Next stop, 2 nights in Napflio, the original capitol of Greece. We got to see Epidarus and Mycenae archeological sites. It’s amazing that some of these ruins were not discovered and excavated until modern times!

Next we headed to Athens for the last 2 nights of our official tour. On the free day, my daughter and I navigated the metro and took a ferry to Idra island as recommended by my friend who lives part time in Greece. It was such a cool place! No cars except emergency and trash and very unsure how they even fit in the very narrow streets. We loved all the cats in Greece and especially on the island! I have so many cat pics!

Where Yanni recorded Live at the Acropolis! Yes, I love Yanni! Ha

After this tour ended, we took a 2 day tour to Delphi in the mountains, it rained on our guided tour but after staying in a quaint motel with a view of the very north top of the sea of Corinth, we got to walk to Athena’s temple the next morning. Hard to believe Socrates walked here!

And finally we head back to Athens for the final night.

Cool view of very north Canada from the plane! We had a layover in London. ❤️ Next trip…….. prob in another 50 years. Ha. First, we deal with a kid in college. XO Malissa
