Road Trip Spectacular!

Just taking you on a tour of Greece today. Some of these photos were taken by my sister Allison when she visited over a year ago, and we went on a road trip together. I just have to say, it was one of the best times of my life. She's my half sister, and haven't spent much adult time together. The last time we spent quality time together, we were kids. So it was a wonderful, wonderful opportunity to bond; to learn more about each other. And what better way is there to do that than embark on a road trip spectacular!?

    Those are gorgeous photos! I'd love to spend a week there just taking photos - I'd probably fill up several memory chips.

    My phone won't let me view them at all. Boo! I assume they're spectacular.

    I'll get there someday...such awesome pics.

    Speaking of pics...that one you have as a header? The one with all the books? I only just today noticed the two bottles off to the right -- I thought you put a new picture up. Not the most observant woman in the word...

    What a beautiful world we live in. Did you go to Meteora?

    There is something hauntingly beautiful about the architecture over there that is utterly missing from what we have in the States. How did we fall so far away from our old European roots. So sad now.

    Can I come visit? :D

    As I watch these gorgeous pics of flowers bursting with bright colors against ancient stone and sapphire blue waters caressing the rocky beaches, I want to KILL MYSELF!!!!!!! lol

    I am under mounds of snow, the temperatures are barely above zero and the chilling winds are tearing at my skin.

    YOU are so Lucky Jessica. Two more weeks and I will me leaving my frozen tundra for sunny Florida. I can't wait!

    It's nothing nearly as heart-stopping as Greece, but it'w warm and the beaches are inviting.

    To all who have visited already, I just realised only nine photos where rotating, but there are 29 in the album. If you want to see the rest, COME BACK! It's fixed :o)

    Matt, I couldn't take my sister to Meteora unfortunately. It was in the wrong direction.

    Um, HELLO! I like road trips. No invite? What's up with that? I would have made my famous chicken salad croissants. Grabbed my Sheryl Crow CD. We could have sung together with the windows rolled down, made sand angels. I'm so depressed right now.

    Gorgeous! I'm dying to come visit!!

    I can't believe how many of these shots look like France. God, I miss Europe...

    Were those octopus arms drying on a clothesline?? LOL

    Thinking of you!

    So amazingly beautiful. I especially love the little cities on the hillsides with the walks zigzagging between.

    So beautiful and full of inspiration. No wonder writers move to places like that. *sigh*

    If you only knew how envious I am right now. Greece has always been in the top five on my list of places to visit before I die. Your pictures just reminded me why. Thanks for sharing!
