So I'm back from Greece and Biarritz and there are so many things to talk about that I already know I'm going to forget most of them. I feel kind of vain posting almost nothing but photos of me, but Glennis is incredible at taking jumping photos. Anyways, Greece: so we got into Athens two Monday mornings ago, checked out the Acropolis and a beach. The next day Glennis and I went to Delphi which was awesome, and took a bunch of photos. We got someone there to take a fighting picture of us in front of an old stadium.

After checking out the stadium, a theater and the temple of Apollo, we visited the temple of Athena.

While we were there, Glennis somehow managed to get a picture of me exactly in the middle of a back flip. Sorry I don't know how to rotate photos, but the temple of Athena is slightly to the left of me and the temple of Apollo is tiny but visible to the up-right of me.

The next day we headed for Mykonos, a small Greek island famous for its beaches. They were really nice, but I didn't really take any good shots of them. I think Friday four of us went to Delos, a very close island, and checked out some ruins. One of the things I really liked in Greece was the fact that a lot of the tourist signs were in Greek, then French, then English. Apparently English isn't the second language everywhere. We climbed up to the highest point of the island where it was wicked windy and took jumping photos where we tried to make it look like we were jumping off the cliff. Sidney did not approve...

Then Sunday was Greek Easter, so we helped the hostel prepare a feast, which included lamb. Most of us helped spit-roast the lamb. The acropolis is just to the right of my head in this photo, one of the few pieces of evidence that I am capable of multi-tasking.

We got back to Paris Monday night, and then Glennis and I hustled to get ready to leave for Biarritz, in the south-west of France, the next morning. I will post on that soon.
