Missing Greece!

My grandma is in California {or in The States ~ as they say in Greece} until May.   I love when she visits for many reasons, but one of those reasons is she makes delicious Greek food while she's here!

I love remniscing with her and talking about her low-key daily life in Greece.  I haven't visited Greece since my husband {then fiance} and I went in 2007.  And lately I've just been longing to go back!  

Here's why... 

The Acropolis ~ Athens

Naxos

Portara at Naxos

Syros

Santorini.  Ahh...yes, it's every bit as beautiful as it is in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...but better!


Mykonos

Windmills at Mykonos

The Peleponnese Islands ~ where my Grandma's village is.  It's authentic and beautiful ~ a non-touristy gem!

If only it weren't so far away!

  1. The ocean looks so beautiful & blue - these are amazing pics! Ashley I've just had a nice time reading all your posts! I especially loved the poem by your student Zoey. My daughter has just started journaling and I just love some of the thoughts that come out of children's minds! You have such a sweet blog. I'll be back to visit, Jane:)
