Hi everyone, I thought I should update everyone on my situation here. I'm sorry I haven't written in a while but there has been a lot of drama lately. We are having visa issues and so I will be coming home a week earlier than intended. I'll be back in Minnesota on December 6th instead of the 13th. I'll hopefully be updating my blog more this weekend. Since last posting I have only been to Delphi so you're not missing out on much of my experience. Well, except fo...

Hi everyone, I just got back from Crete this morning. It was a lot of fun… we went to the palace of Knossos and then on to Xania, or Chania, or Hania, however you want to spell it, for a few days. Knossos was cool, the history of it is a little fuzzy at this early hour (8:00am isn't that early but we took a night ferry) so I'll explain that to you at a later time if you'd like.

Our last day we went back to a few of the highlights to see them one last time. It was ...

The most important reason for my current post is to say Happy Birthday Grandpa Melvin! I know it's a few days early but I will be gone for your actual birthday. Look for my postcard! Ciao,Kristi

Hello Everyone! I would just like to start by saying thank you for all the messages and emails! They are great so keep them coming! You will be happy to hear that I purchased a new camera and will be posting pictures very soon (hopefully). It was expensive but I think it was worth every penny! This past weekend we went to Florence, or "Firenze" in Italian, for a group trip and it was amazing. The feel is very different from Rome; it seems a lot small...
