Honeymoon

So with nearly 3,000 photos to go through from our honeymoon, where to start is a daunting question. Hal didn't even have his camera in Athens and he still managed to take more pictures than I did. If you look at most of our photos, they're mainly scenic shots. But we managed to get in a few if only to prove we visited these places together...

In Cannes, France overlooking this very exclusive resort city that is also home to the best (and only) French macarons we've ever had .

View from the Ponte Vecchio. A rainy day in Florence made for an adventure in staying dry and trying to keep the rain out of our eyes as we looked at Il Duomo and the Piazza Signora.

Yes, that's the Parthenon in the background. What you can't see is how terrible Hal is feeling thanks to some food poisoning the night before. He was such a determined trooper though, managing to tour the Acropolis and Cape Sounion without a bathroom close by.

The ruins of Ephesus were all around us at one of our favorite stops during the honeymoon. The restoration work was just so impressive. We look like such tourists.

Ah, Santorini. The reality of this place lives up to every image and picture you've seen of it. It feels like a wonderful escape when you're surrounded by such a beautiful and picturesque landscape of azure water.



Somehow we forgot to take a photo together during our tour of Herculaneum in Naples so I had to improvise. Herculaneum, a town also affected when Mt. Vesuvius erupted was like a huge playground for us where we could wander freely amongst most of the ruins, much of which was remarkably preserved by the mud and ash that had settled there. This is a mosaic that was still very much intact.



And one more photo just to prove we actually did take a cruise and spent some time on the ship.
