European Vacation 2007, Greece and Italy
In and around Europe
In June Andrew and I set our sails towards Greece and Italy, making pitstops in New York (where we saw friends Brent, Cheryl and Connor), and Dublin. In Greece we visited Athens, as well as the islands of Sifnos and Santorini in the Cyclades. In Italy we spent a week in a Tuscan villa with Andrew's family to celebrate his parents' 40th wedding anniversary. (See "Viva Italia! 2007" set). On the way back home we hit New York again and revisted the Griffith family once more. It was epic.
