Photo Update

Amorgos, South Aegean, Greece
I feel like Brian told enough of a tale to keep you entertained. So I’m just here with some pictures. Brian and I from our last day on the boat. The Monastary on Amorgos: The secluded beach on Donoussa requiring our trek along the goat paths on the side of the mountain (no nakedness here, sorry) And finally… Read more

Back from Mykonos

July 16, 2005 — Sa Wat Dema
Mykonos, South Aegean, Greece
Well, we have made it in and out of Mykonos, but only barely. Of all the islands we have been to, Mykonos is by far the most cosmopolitian, most trendy, and most expensive. The partying was great (what we can remember of it)… Read more

Amorgos

Amorgos, South Aegean, Greece
Hey everybody. We have so much to say and no time to say it. We are about to jump a ferry to Donousa, an island of about 110 people and as many donkeys. We are on a Morgos right now, which is beautiful. We rented a car and trekked to this amazing monastery stuck into a cliff. Things are going so great. I am really learning a lot about being Greek and life in the islands. Our captain… Read more

So I didn’t have time to make it very pretty (computer time is not cheap here), but here’s where we’ve been. From Athens to Santorini. To Ios, then Iraklia, the Koufonisi, and now in Paros for the next two days.

Amorgos, South Aegean, Greece
We have just arrived on the island of Paros. We had kind of a rough day today, two days of seeing the sunrise will do that to you. But we did meet some great Greek girls to spend the time with. They taught us some dirty words in Greek, and they laugh at our attempt to pronounce it. Everybody is very chill in the islands. No one rushes for anything… Read more

Thira, South Aegean, Greece
So I had some problems posting pictures from the particular computer I’m using on Koufonissi, so you can see some… Also from the island of Koufonissi, I have some pictures. From Athens, we took the overnight ferry to Santorini. It only took 12 hours. Here’s me from the beginning of the ferry: On Santorini… Read more

In the islands!

Paros, South Aegean, Greece
July 6, 2005 Koufonissi islands, Greece. Sorry for the long time between posts but we have been in some of the smallest islands you could ever imagine. Our sailing trip started 3 days ago and we have gone farther and farther from civilization. We went to Ios, which is a really big party island… Read more

Parthenon Ahoy!

Athens, Attica, Greece
June 30, 2005. Athens, Greece. We have arrived! After roughly 18 Chicago hours, and 24 hours in Greek time, we made it to the our hostel in the heart of the Stygma district of Athens. Contrary to what you might read about the city in older guide books, Athens is beautiful. From nearly every point in the city… Read more

A line of empty ouzo bottles

Here’s the Indiana Jones line you’ve been asking for. Up to the minute coverage of our location. UPDATE: This was originally a series of images charting our course from Chicago to Athens updated based on time as we travelled over the Atlantic:
