Greece was disappointing. We were in Athens for part of a day and due to strikes, we did not get to go up to the Acropolis.
We did climb Mars Hill and had a sermon from Acts 17 - Paul's sermon about the Unknown God. It was awesome. (Pictured is Roy Christensen)
Cassie & Michelle liked Greek food best out of any meal we had had in Egypt or Israel. I enjoyed the falafaels in Israel myself. Any who, we did see the Olympic stadium and enjoyed saying "And there you go" after everything our guide said.
Croatia was a Gorgeous country!!! Wow! It was raining while we walked around the city of Split.
We had enough free time to eat a doughnut from one of their bakeries. Heaven!!! So delicious! And a huge thanks to Michael Ballam for buying.
We saw some craaaazy looking fish there in Croatia. This was at the fish market. Note its many layers of teeth. The fish seller woman picked it up by its eyes.
We also ate some craaaaazy stuff. We had octopus salad which had a great flavor. (This is me and Larry, the Cruise Lady's husband.) 
We also ate sardines and tuna at a little mill turned restaurant in Croatia (and fed the cats). 
It is a place I could retire - buy some land and a couple of goats and be set.Some of the best parts of the trip were being on the Vision of the Seas cruise ship out in the Mediterranean Sea.
We enjoyed the sun and the food and our waiters (Carlos and Dennis and the cold soups and the chocolate milk!). We also loved our Cruise Lady cruise group of 66 members more than we imagined! Larry and Diane Larson were the cruise guides and we were assigned at their dinner table along with Michael Ballam, his wife Laurie, and their son Ben. It was so fun getting to know them.
We ate dinner with them every night possible and tried to soak it all in. Indeed a vacation of a lifetime.
