Athens, Greece

Mrs. Crank and I spent 2 weeks in Greece a week ago. Boat and bike tour of some of the islands with a few days in Athens prior to the cruise and 4 days after driving around the Peloponnesian peninsula. It was good to relax and get my wife back after the cancer treatments. So here are some from the start of the trip.

Good morning Athens, actually Piraeus.

Goodnight Athens

I like the variety you've chosen plus the details from both the ancient ruins and the modern paintings on buildings. The bougainvillea is exquisite!

Thank you for sharing.

There will be more from the trip.

It looks like she is as out of the woods as you can get after a cancer diagnosis.
