ΕΛΛΑΔΑ

Drove through the night from Thessoliniki in northern Greece up through ΟΛΥΜΠΟΣ, OLYMPUS for those that don't know Greek....ended up finding a place to park....woke up in the morning to these rock formations clearing through the fog.......like a good song that can't be turned up loud enough, there is not a camera lens wide enough to capture this landscape... ...sometimes you just run into sweet stuff......

Drove around looking at homes to buy today. Thinking we could get a steal in the current world market we offered the monk 1000 €uro. The offer was rejected so we went on our way and are still sleeping in our car.
Whenever your ready, we'll just try sneak past ya here, a little road leading up to I don't know where, I thought the road would just loop back, we were a little turned around.
Coming into the place a couple ladies started asking me questions about the Monastery....so I tried the best I could to describe the place, soon they realized I wasn't the monk they thought I was and they went on their way.

Your Uncles Danny and Donn are super impressed with your travels. Thanks so much for all the great pictures and wonderful descriptions. Someone in your team writes colourfully.

We will write you very soon about your visit to Switzerland.

Just did some thinking after the morning haze. We're cousins, of some sort, not Uncles. Oops.

What a cool spot to wake up to! I want to know one thing, did you intentionally dress as a monk or did it so happen that you dressed that way for the day? The kids were wondering why uncle Jon was wearing a dress:-) Looks like you are having so much fun. I will definitely miss the tree lot this year, Christina:) Don't forget to check our family blog the week of Jon's birthday. Love you and miss you both.

Ultimos Dias y una Fiesta en Loiza

The universal emotions of winning and losing, success and failure.  Navarro connects for a home run in the first game, pure joy.  After dropping two straight and getting bounced from the tournament el Cocoteritos season comes to an end, players were truly sad.  Over the past couple years I've began to look over at the losers side, the losers dugout.  Its a little difficult to do because our attention is naturally drawn to the winning side and the celebration.  But if you remember, take a glance over at the losers dugout, you can really learn a lot about a team. Final field prep, final stretch and a horse training session in the North Atlantic near Loiza. Coaches: Wilfredo, Francisco, Candela y el Cocoteritos ultima fiesta en la communidad de Loiza. Back in the beautiful, beautiful United States of America.  York River in Virginia. Y la paz de Dios gobierne en vuestros corazones.

Pequena Liga en Loiza: Los Cocoteritos

  Everybody's happy when you get new jerseys and are winning.  Little League for 9/10 year olds in Loiza, Puerto Rico.  After a rough start to the season, Los Cocoteritos won 6 straight and advance to the semi-finals. Coaches de Los Cocoteritos: Wilfredo, Candela and Francisco. Practices and games start with prayer en la Republica Dominicana y Puerto Rico.   A dog and his iguana.  Getting out of del sol caribeno and cooling down en El Yunque Rainforest. Always windy, the north atlantic went still one day during the eclipse and looked like el caribeno.  The problem with no wind is that you get killed by mosquitos in the evening.   Rio Espiritu Santo flowing into the North Atlantic.  Still thinking about leaving Dean at one of these islands.  It's his home.

La Isla de Puerto Rico y Boricuas

Saludo de Puerto Rico.  A commonwealth and unincorporated territory of the United States.  Not sure what that really means.  It's a little confusing.  Distances between pueblos are marked in kilometers, but the speed limit is posted in MPH.  Someone born in Puerto Rico could in fact become President of the United States, but the people of Puerto Rico have no vote in the U.S. Presidential election.  Puerto Rico has a steadily declining population of 3.25 million, but there are around 9 million Puerto Ricans in the world.  It's referred to as the Puerto Rican diaspora.  It's been happening for some time, but accelerated after the two devastating hurricanes of Irma and Maria in 2017.  Irma was a category 5 hurricane that came close to the island, 10 days later Maria, a category 4 went straight through the country.  I heard someone talking that in the "eye" of a hurricane everything goes calm for a period but then the ferocity starts again a...
