Back from Greece!
Hi everyone!
Jake and I came back a week ago from a nice trip in Greece.
We have a Greek friend living in Paris who invited us to his parents' house on Aegina - a beautiful island close to Athens. Then he brought us to Mykonos for 3 days: nice beaches but mostly night life!
Afterwards Jake and I rented a car for a 2 weeks tour of the Peloponnese: Athens, Corinth, Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae... all the wonderful ancient cities, but also byzantine medieval sites such as Mystra, Monemvasia, Nauplia...
It was very hot: we had to visit the sites early in the morning or in the late afternoon not to fry in the sun! Luckily Peloponnese - that is the peninsula of Greece - is not so big and the sea is always close. There's always a place nearby to take a little dip!
But look at the pictures.
Now you don't want to come visit us in France anymore, you want to go to Greece, right? :)
My next trip : USA for christmas!
See you soon,
F.

Francois,
Those are some of the best photos I've seen in a long time. What a great trip you guys had. Too bad I wasn't there to make it even better. Ha ha. By the way, that shot of Jake's face on the sand is a prize winner without doubt, and you should send it in to whoever is giving prizes for great shots of the the human face on the sand or anywhere else. P.S. I am canceling our trip to France and booking to Greece ASAP.
These photos are quite spectacular! That church on the island is amazing and I love Jake "running" the hurdles.All very beautiful and yes it does make me want to go to Greece but the good news is we will see you guys at Christmas. Simpson Family Christmas Party at our house? Christmas Tamales?
I'm very intrigued by Greece lately. So I was glad to see all your beautiful photos and hear about the wonderful trip you had. Francois, what kind of camera do you use?
Glad to hear that you and Jake will be home for the holidays. Looking forward to seeing you both.
Tamales sound great. And how about a turkey on the grill?
awesome shots! makes me want to take my woman there and make more babies. thanks for sharing.
I use a Canon Rebel Xsi (450D) with a 18-55mm 3,5-5,6 IS lens... very good and cheap camera to learn photography. Now after 2 years I intend to buy a more sophisticated equipment like a Canon 7D though it is much more expensive... and heavy.
Do you have an SLR camera? It is definitely worth a try!
sara, i have a couple slr bodies (canon 20d & 40d) plus lots o lenses. if you wanna borrow the 20d and a nice zoom lemme know. the xsi has been updated to an xti which is an excellent camera and also doubles as a first class video shooter. you'll get way better pics of your daughter with an slr than a point and shoot because of the speed.
uncle wilber
yes! would love to take you up on that offer, unca bill. i need something better than the piece o' crap i've been using. thanks!
