The summer of 2009 for our 40^th Anniversary, we took an eleven day cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean starting in Rome. We stayed at a wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of old Rome just a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum and five minutes from the subway. We arrived three days ahead of the sailing. (See Blog on Italy). We arrived in Athens on the second day of the cruise, and ultimately visited Rhodes, Mykonos, and Corfu. We found the Greek people the most welcoming of all on the trip. We thought often of our college friend, Skoumbourdis. The beauty of the antiquity, and the clear blue skies and bath-tub calm seas were beyond expectations. Unfortunately, I made a huge mistake with y camera. I had set it to send an e-mail picture, and forgot to reset it to its highest resolutions, so almost all of these pictures are way too small in file size to make any meaningful enlargement. None-the-less, they are beauty to look at. Enjoy!
