We made our boat after a few frustrating encounters with Greek taxidrivers, checked in, lost our luggage, found our luggage, and are now headed to Egypt! The water is beautiful, the staff is great, and we're meeting lots of people from different places. We're learning lots of Greek, and eating lots of Greek food, all of which is delicious. Holly loves feta cheese, so she really cant go wrong here- and I cant help but think of my Mom as I eat my weight in the best olives Ive ever had! (she used to eat olives by the jar-and then drink the juice when she was pregnant with me)
We've been at sea all day, and while we dont love the cruise atmosphere ( 3 euro for a bottle of water? carpet darts- who plays that?) we do enjoy being on the water and reading the books we brought for the trip. We've got a book on Biblical sites in Turkey and Greece, Greek travel book, a few fiction titles, and I'm reading the Odyssey- figure you can't help but get the spirit of it while youre on the Mediteranean!
Tomorrow we get up early and head to the pyramids, the national museum of Cairo, and a papyrus museum. Here's hoping we dont bring back any mummy's curse with us...

Thanks for the updates. We are living vicariously through you, and it is fun. The olives sound so good, and I love feta cheese, also. We may have to have a greek salad, in your honor, tomorrow for lunch.
Miss you, praying for you, love you
