Well, here it has been about two weeks since we arrived back in the States, and what a two weeks it has been. Friends from out of town, a memorial service, family in the hospital for a few days, reuniting with family and friends, a trip to San Francisco to march in the Pride Parade with the best damn drum corps in Portland, (check out lastregiment. com), and a healthy dose of American reality with an IRS tax audit has kept us fairly busy. Not to mention all the little projects at home, and finding jobs. Yeah, a full plate. So I neglected the blog for a bit, big deal. Here it is, the top 10 from our trip. In no specific order.
- Cortijo Vadillo
- A float trip down the Nestos river gorge in Northern Greece with twenty good friends
- The beautiful mountains of Bulgaria
- Istanbul ( this deserves at least two places on the list)
- Erg Chi Gaga and the Sahara desert
- Homemade organic Cretan wine
- Halkidiki peninsula, Fourkas and Possidi
- Ancient ruin tomb exploring in Southern Turkey
- Rome, God what a city
- The Marinella on the Calabrian coast
The true gem of course was all the lovely friends we made along the way, and really meeting and living in such amazing places. Also the cheese; good lord the cheese.
Now we get to see about culture shock. Oddly, we haven't been too capsized by coming home. We were thrown in the deep end upon our return and maybe all the bustling has diverted our attention. Anyway we are all looking forward to a lovely summer with bbqs, camping and river trips. Hope to see as many of you as we can!
I have not decided yet whether or not to keep this blog alive. Maybe I will. Let's see what the future brings.
Thanks for sticking with this if you did. If anyone has questions, just hit me up.

[Editor's final note: We are full of love and gratitude for our friends and family abroad and at home. Everyone come visit! p.s. Yay for taco truck!!!]
