Meteora, Greece (what Linkin Park named its album after)-people actually climb these. There are crevices where, every year, climbers gather scarves from people in the surrounding villages and string them up.
The Colosseum-our guide was amazing and described for us all of the sights, smells and sounds one would experience. I just kept on thinking of Russell Crowe's awesomeness in "Gladiator"-"Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?" 
Monasteries in Meteora. It is CRAZY to think these were built, brick by brick, centuries ago. It is also crazy to think that the priests and nuns pray for 8 hours EVERYDAY...I bought some pretty sweet handmade candles from the convent-thanks, ladies!
A bit of our group at the location of the Battle of Thermopylae, in front of the statue of Leonidas, King of Sparta. (Insert your own quote from "300" here-I never saw the movie, though it looked pretty cool.)
A very important pillar (I don't know why it's important, I can't read ancient Greek and it was too hot to listen to the guide and baby-sit) in Delphi, the "center of the world." Apparently Zeus sent out two eagles to circumnavigate the globe and this is where they crossed. How is this possible, if Mt. Olympus is also in Greece? I think something is a bit shady in the world of mythology. Right, that's why it's MYTHology...

Those boys had the best European Vacay!!
why is that boy so far away?? that seems weird. You look gorgeous (as always) in every picture..kinda selfish that you get to go to Europe twice though don't you think? and for the 300 quote " This is madness" "THIS IS SPARTA!!!!" by the way...that movie was beyond description amazing. yes, i know...it's rated R. For those of you who are upset with this..remember "Don't judge others because they choose to sin in different ways than you." at thats all.
