Just kinda funny

The Minoans loved them some longhorns.

Traveling in Greece

Sucks. I promise a long rant you may tire of reading once we are
home, but there is no way I can do it from the iPhone. So let the
post card posts continue! Here is the ferry we took from Athens to
Crete. It was only delayed four hours (hint: not the worst of our
travels). It did offer nine cruising hours of a room full of people
snoring and the lights on. Luxurious!

Acropolis now

Sorry we forgot to take the phone up with us, but here's our view from
breakfast, courtesy of the Adrian hotel in Athens. Speaking of
breakfast, it's been awesome the entire trip. Every day we wake up to
tables covered with bread, cheese, juice, eggs, croissants, ham, good
coffee just to start.

Breakfast at our hotels has saved us a lot of cash as we never have to
buy lunch.

Pompeii. They liked their brothel. And in case the patrons are of the
unimaginitive (inexperienced?) type, the pictures above the door to
each room have some...suggestions.

Il Collosseo

Thanks to the Metro we're able to find our way to all the major sights in Rome
with ease. The Colloseum is massive, and probably better engineered than
a lot of stadiums today at least for flow in and out. It has eighty
exits. That sounds a lot easier than the 25ish in memorial stadium. We
followed up with a walk through the ruins at the Forum, Palatine Hill,
Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps-- all way cooler than I had
imagined.

Pisa

Since it was only an hour away by train, we thought we should see the
tower. We seriously got off the train, walked as fast as we could to
the tower (opposite end of town from the train), took pictures, and
hustled back to the train station (more art to see in Florence).

Time spent
Train: 2 hours
Walking: 45 minutes
Gawking at tower: 10 minutes
Trying to get good picture of us holding up the tower: 30 minutes

Pisa seemed nice as we ran through it though.
