Last Thoughts

Hey everyone,

Kelly and I arrived back in Athens tonight after a 9 hour ferry ride! Whew. It was tedious but at least the ferry boats are really nice. We were a bit worried about being stuck here tomorrow since there is a general strike planned, however the airports are not suppossed to be affected. Its about 1 am here and we are doing some quick posts and then off to get some shut eye before our flight out tomorrow.

While we didn't get to share everything we experienced in the blog with you guys due to timing and internet access, we wanted to share some last thoughts with how much we enjoyed our trip. Driving back to our hotel tonight we saw another glimpse of the Parthenon. It's still as spectacular to me as the first time we saw it, and I can't imagine it would ever seem commonplace. Kelly and I have talked about it several times and we both agree that we have had some amazing experiences in seeing the Acropolis, walking in the same footsteps as those so long ago in Delphi, and even our "walking" trips that always seemed to turn into hiking through mountains or competing with crazy drivers of two lane windy mountain streets or staggering on the edge of a cliff. The bottom line is we have great stories that will last a lifetime. Thanks to everyone that followed the blog! We will be back in Chicago in less than 24 hours time . Woohoo! Hopefully we will post some pics to the blog so you all can see. Between Kelly and I am sure we took over 1000 ;)
