The islands off of Cape Sounion. Quite a view from the Temple of Poseidon. 

Me at Delphi!

So we just had Easter Break. It consisted of three days off from school, Thursday, Friday, and the following Monday. Being adventuresome single Americans living in Europe we decided to hope a flight down to Greece. I will give more details in an upcoming post. I am about to get kicked out of school right now. But just know now that these pictures below are from that trip. More pictures will be coming soon, but this should tide you over till I get those up, because who knows when that will be.

Walking through the streets of Athens. It was very sunny.

Our group visiting the Oracle at Delphi. From L, Zach, Ben, Amy, Me, Laura. 

Columns from a Temple (to Zeuse?) at Delphi. 

The Oracle has a fairly nice view don't you think? 

The Temple of Posiedon on Cape Sounion near Athens. 

Minoan palace wreckage. I wonder where the Minotaur is? 

Remnants of Minoan culture. At Knossus on Crete. 

Us on Crete before leaving to head back to Athens (minus me who is taking the pic) 

So Ben, Zach, Mike and I made a pilgrimage of sorts to the legendary mountain of Rip in northern Bohemia. This is a surprisingly large mountain (although not terribly big) rising straight out of the farmland around it. As the story goes, Father Czech climbed this mountain and proclaimed this would be a land for the Czechs and that they would make excellent beer. It took us about 45 minutes or so to climb over rocks and through the trees and underbrush to reach the summit where a church was located and where we got a great view of the surrounding area. After struggling to the top we enountered many families with little children and strollers and such. I was amazed that these people had brought their young children over the terrain until I saw a gradual and well kept trail on the opposite side of the mountain. But overall, quite a good time. So these pictures below are from the top of Rip. Enjoy.

Nice view huh? 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. As is Zach's hair. Which might actually be the answer. 

Very boy-bandish. After climbing and lunch. 

On top of Mt. Rip.... 

Me and Fabio (Zach) on top of Mt. Rip. You should have seen his hair blowing in the wind. It was a sight to behold!
