Monastic Belltower

This monastery at the highest point on the island of Patmos was built with such symmetry that I could have taken pictures of it all day.*
*Kathy blogs from here up. Karin is sure that her father will do some as well. Note decreased level of sarcasm. 

Left without Revelation

This is the view leaving the cave where St. John received the Revelation. Thankfully, the whole tour group was still there- no one was "left behind." 

Ancient Corinth

This is the place that Ricardo Montalban was talking about- the Corinthian leather. St. Paul also wrote some letters to these people. 

Don't touch this flower

Found a perfect windflower near Olympia. 

Lion's Gate

Mycenae's famed Lion's Gate. 

Warm up to DiVinci Code

Check out the Knights Templar fortress. 

The Place Formerly Known As...

the site of the Colossus in Rhodes harbor. 

I don't know about you but I am intimidated by men in white tights. 

Wildflowers 

After a climb of more than 600 steps, they are greeted by a locked door to a closed monestery. Maybe they should but the closed 2 days a week sign at the bottom of the hill. 

Monk-Mobile

Not as sweet a ride as the Pope-Mobile but better than scaling the rocks. 

Action shot of Jack, the driver. 

Kitty in the sunshine. She's perched on the edge. 

Mitch with Jack-the driver. Check out the sweet VW Vanagon next to them! 

More Meteora

 

Geological wonder behind Mitch and Kathy. 

Monestery on top of part of the Meteora. 

Scenery

More snow caps in Greece. I must be bilingual- I can read that Greek stop sign. 

Mitch's Meteora Birthday

On the last day of the trip, these photos are in no particular order, the dynamic duo got a driver to take them to the Meteora- one of the 47 places Mitch has to go pre-death. Appropriate that he went on the day he celebrated eluding death for another 12 months. 

Look...

There was a horse's ass on the trip. 

Jazz hands

This display of jazz hands is the closest thing to dancing on the whole Greek adventure. 

"The Shot"

Christmas Card contender and Delphi temple shot. 

Play Zone

Kathy thought this was an artistic shot. I think it looks like a good place to play hide-and-go-seek. 

If they were to switch positions, this would be PG-13.
