We thought we'd leave you with our a few photos of where we'll be living for a while. We call her our "ugly duckling pumpkin" As you can see, there's still a bit of unpacking to do!

Welcome Home!
Hey guys. This will be the last post for a while. We're going to keep the site active for all those future travel plans, whenever they come true. We'll always send out an email to let you know when to start following our itchy feet again. In the meantime, we wanted to thank you all for following our travels and adventures. :) Thank you to all of those we've met a long the way, to the friends and family who didn't give up trying to communicate with us, and all the love and support. It's been a year to remember.

The last of Greece's Photos: Tyrnes and Acropolis
Tyrnes is one of my favorite places. Can't explain why, you just have to go and see it for yourself. We only snapped a few photos of it. (It's also the childhood home to Heracles.)
Next up: Germany and Amsterdam (not today tho!)

Epidurous
Epidurous is a site dedicated to Asklepius, son of Apollo, who is a god of healing and medicine. Our medical symbol of the snake curled around a staff comes from portraits that portray Asklepius with snakes. He used snakes as one of his methods of healing.

| Amphitheater; one of the largest; still used today! |

But, I digress, here are some pictures from the ancient site of Delphi, Greece. I'm going to be posting a series of other posts throughout today and tomorrow with the rest of our photos! Enjoy!
