Lara and Steve come to Greece

Steve wanted me to back up further on the edge of the cliff, but this is as far back as I could get and still smile.

Antonio pulled Dennis over and wanted a picture taken with him. We feel that we have made some wonderful friends.


Antonio and Maria, our good friends at the Dellas Hotel, graciously posed for a picture with Steve and Lara.



The four of us, making memories together in Greece.


We enjoyed outdoor dining in Kalambaka and took this picture in front of the fountain.



Another monastery built in a hole in the mountain. This one is not open for visitors.


A ruin of a monastery in the hillside on the old Kastraki road. It reminded us a little of Mesa Verde in Colorado.



I loved the merry-go-round at the little village of Kastraki. Look like seats and a little seatbelt to keep dizzy kids from falling off.



Another photo op at Meteora.


Steve and Lara in front of the old fortress at the top of the city of Thessaloniki.



We had a beautiful day to see the sites of Thessaloniki.



The Motts arrive at the Thessaloniki airport--a little tired but had an uneventful trip compared to what was to follow. Little did they know they would get to contend with rioting in Athens and an airport closure in Munich because of the volcano in Iceland. We heard that they did make it back home!
