... cakes and excellent coffee! If you happen to be near here, make sure you visit.

We stopped at Angelokastro, an ancient fortification and climbed to the top. We could see almost to Italy (it seemed) and took delight in exploring the battlements. From here we went back down to the coast, exploring the beaches of Agios Georgios, Agios Stephanos and Sidari as well as others in between. I’m sure they are great summer resorts but I couldn’t see anything but ...

Things were uneventful in this town, the weather raged on terrible. Being cold and drafty everyday except for the first day. The temperature dropped steadily and now we can see our breaths in the air. Being so, we were itching to move on the warmer locales. Thursday we're gonna get ready for the road trip down south to Virginia Beach. We did try and spend some time on the RIT campus taking pictures and looking for various skate spots ...

We are heading to krudco to ask for a tour of rochesters skate spots....

Part II:

After meeting the guys at Krudco, Ben, and Caleb, we were impressed with the quality of the shop, lots of good selections and the guys working there was knowledgable. We asked about the local skating scene and there WAS a really really nice indoor park not too far ...

... Wake me 30 minutes before dinner so I can shower'. As I've said before, that girl can sleep.

Considering we had several showers over the past eight days and swam often, I'm embarrassed to say the white washclothes at the B&B will probably never be the same and the tub had a scum line by the time the three of us showered. Showers are wonderful! Toilets are glorious!

While Emily ...

Finally made it to Rochester on Saturday afternoon after a much delayed journey from Toronto – it takes ages to cross the border from Canada to the US! I'm not sure how any people manage to enter the States illegally because they're really strict!! After I checked into my hotel (yep, no hostels in Rochester so I had to splash out on a hotel) and got over the amount of ...

Just south of Rochester is one of the Finger Lakes called Conesus Lake. It's not too big, but every year they have a 4th of July celebration on the 3rd called the Ring of Fire. Met up with several friends to enjoy the fireworks and each other's company. I was playing with the cameras high-speed burst setting so if you click through the fireworks pictures fast enough, its like watching one of the old ...

... soon after; my father was raised in Boston and had lots of family there. About once a year we visited and stayed in Winthrop at my Nana's home. As we got older we gradually shifted to staying with my great-Nana in Gloucester. It is the oldest seaport in the continental United States, popular for lobster fishing and attractive for the nation's billionaires. I am sure some pictures exist somewhere, but they ...

Last day home before leaving tomorrow morning at 7:30am Basically just spending the day packing up everything I'll need for the next month and taking care of important things like banking, insurance, etc... Hopefully see a few people tonight before getting a few hours sleep and heading to the airport in the AM. The next post I make will most likely be from an airport or hotel in CHINA. Here's a rundown of what we'll ...

... in the sand in Phuket, Thailand...in the little town of Kata. We do have a rum soaked Cayman Island Cake left over from our honeymoon/sales awards trip--think it will still be good after a whole year? I think if you bathe anything in Rum it will be good! Oh---and our dinner is leftover his and her pizza (anchovies and mushroom on my side and peperoni on his) from last night---what a romantic dinner!

I am going to Europe for my birthday and I am making plans...I'm not sure where I should spend my birthday. Maybe in Paris or London or Berlin or Zurich at the top of the Alps. Hmmm.....can't make up my mind...
