To be frank, I COULD have used a computer before now but I was enjoying life without the computer for once. I havn't written for weeks and I have so much to say but there is no way to fit it all into one measley blog.
Anyway, we went to Greece. It took a very, very long time to get there but it was well worth it. I have not felt so relaxed the whole entire trip. Good greek food turned out to be hard to find but by the end we did have a favorite. In Greece it was easy to be self indulgent. We were for the first time sleeping in late, spending the afternoons at cafes in the old town and suntanning (of course). If you have travelled before, you know what hard work it is so I really honestly felt like Greece was the first place I got to relax. The island we stayed on was pretty much deserted so we got to pick and choose where we wanted to be and we even managed to score ourselves a private beach two days in a row. One of the best parts about Greece is the yogurt. Seriously, i had greek yogurt and honey for breakfast every single morning. I got a good tan but didn't burn at all (what the?) thanks to spf 30 which i wore constantly. My face is now full of freakles and i have a pretty decent tan for me.
Next we went to Austria. The journey from Greece to Salzburg took us 47 hours of non stop travelling. I wish we had had more time to spend there because it was GORGEOUS. Mountains everywhere and hello, the Sound of Music was filmed there! We actually took the tour and one of the neatest things about our hotel is that they played the Sound of Music on tv 24/7. We watched it anytime we were in our room. I know all the words to all the songs and I can recite huge chuncks of dialoge.
On the train to London we went through Germany (i seriously had no idea how beautiful it is there!) and Belgum. We took a night train and didn't sleep a wink. We just went shopping on Oxford Street and walked around like zombies. Our wonderful trio is down to a duo, which is sad and as of tomorrow we will all have gone our own seperate ways. Crazy.
Anyway, sorry that was so brief. I feel relaxed in any case and I do believe the computer may have tainted my frame of mind ;-)
Gotta go, times almost up! I will write later today!!!
love, J

Hi Jacqueline,
We can't wait to have you home. It sounds like this has been one remarkable adventure for you and I look forward to hearing all about it. Greek food may have been disappointing (no kidding--what did you expect. Jeffrey warned you of this), but I hear Langley food is pretty amazing. Expect to eat well this weekend once you get home.
