Our 15 year anniversary vacation

I was surprised when Jason told me that he had planned a trip to Italy and Greece and did it all without me knowing! I have wanted to go to Greece for a long time but with 4 kiddos did not think it would be possible any time in the near future. Now I think I have the travel bug again and would love to see other countries as well as learn a new language, since English really is NOT a universal language, but it did make the trip a bit more interesting. The first experience we had was at dinner when the waiter showed up to take our orders and asked if we preferred "Gas or No Gas." I was a little surprised and without thinking replied, "No Gas." He then returned with 2 waters and as he set them on the table said, "No Gas..." Ahhh, he meant carbonated or non-carbonated water!! Well, that's a relief. This picture below is on Santorini:

This is a picture of the ruins in Katakalon, Greece at the site where the original Olympics (back in 550BC)v were held. We found out that they still light the Olympic torch here during the olympics.

This is a picture of a Gondelier in Venice.
This is the size of an economy rental car, and it seats 4 people...When we tried to explain the kind of car we drive(Suburban) to them they said "Oh, you mean a Bus!" Yes, I guess that is true...
Church in Santorini...

Wow. That looks like a great time. I love the car. I've been wanting to go to Italy for a long time too. Maybe when I'm 40. : ) Glad you had fun.
