I'm impressed at your stamina! Bet you're both in great shape after this trip. Reminds one of how healthy the Europeans are with all their walking... (as opposed to us folks in the 'burbs'. Love kathy

Today (29 Nov) we are visiting Rhodes, a very old place from 2000 BC. We are on the internet in a building probably 500 years old. The town of Lindos has a beach where Paul was suppose to have landed while fleeing the Romans. The amount of ruins that are thousands of years old are truly amazing. We climbed to the top of the Acropolis of Lindos which was truly a healthy climb of over 300 steps!!! Yesterday on the ship the weather was cold and overcast but today it has cleared and the tempature is in the high 60's.
