Mediterranean Cruise
In late October we cruised from Athens, Greece to Lisbon, Portugal as part of an incentive trip for Nature's Sunshine. We had another large group -- 680 people. Everyone seemed to have fun even though we had a few rough nights at sea.
One of the first stops was Ephesus, Turkey which has some pretty amazing ruins including this library dating back to 100 AD. Paul's New Testament Letter to the Ephesians was written to the citizens of Ephesus.
Susan somehow managed to get me agree to buy one of these oriental rugs before we got back on the ship in Ephesus. That was a costly tour!
Susan's admirers outside the Colliseum in Rome.
The famous Trevi Fountain
The prinicipality of Monaco. There's a lot of money floating around (literally) in this tiny country!
Spanish Flamenco!
We visited some amazing Catholic cathedrals.
The Gothic Cathedral in Seville, Spain was unbelievable! This is supposed to be the tomb of Christopher Columbus.
A trip highlight -- getting to know the Barberry Apes of Gibralter.
