Montreal , Canada

Hi!
well we have made it part way home....we are in the airport in montreal. We flew the 10 hour flight only to get here with not enough time tio get through both Canadian and US customs. So, here we sit for four hours and then we get on another flight to Boston. Poor Devin will then get on a bus to Portland, Maine as he flies back to portland, Oregon tomorrow! Nevi and I will head to Cape Cod for a few days and then back to Portland. Just wanted to give you all an update and will post more later perhaps as we sit here!

Hot, Hot, Hot

Needless to say even though the week long heat spell broke today and Athens is not 115 degrees….after a long afternoon of walking both Nevi and Devin got naked and climbed up ON the air conditioner in our hotel room here in downtown Athens.
We are on our way to the airport in the morning for a long flight to Montreal and onto Boston. Oh how sad to say goodbye to our journey, but hopefully it has instilled enough energy and delight to last until our next family adventure out of the US.

History Lesson

A bit of history and a lot of curiosity.

Athens from the Acropolis

So crowded….

Wonder

Such a small girl wondering how in the world this place was built….” Mama, how did they build this place?”

Athens

We took a highspeed ferry from Mykonos back to Pireaus today. We arrived in Athens around 3 and went right up to the Acropolis. Here are a few views of the extraordinary history of a civilization past.

Mother and daughter wait in the streets for Papa to finish taking pictures…he captured us in the evening light.
