Wednesday May 21, Amsterdam

by Mynde Mayfield on May 22, 2008

Mynde here… just so you know. I realize after re-reading some of our own blogs that Andrea and I often switched writer mid-stream. Oh well. It got done, that’s all that matters. And now, it’s been nearly two weeks since we’ve return home and here I am finishing up this last little piece.
This piece may [...]

Monday/Tuesday, May 19/20, Netherlands

by Mynde Mayfield on May 20, 2008

The Netherlands are known for a few things…besides flowers (which I am sure you got your fill of my million-flower exposition on the last post), there are of course, the windmills, wooden shoes, farms and animals. The past two days have been all about the Dutch life. From windmills in Zaanse Schans to [...]

Sunday, May 18, Netherlands

by Mynde Mayfield on May 20, 2008

Do you like flowers? What about tulips… something the Dutch are now famous for? We visited Keukenhof , also known as the Garden of Europe or the world’s largest flower garden. This blog will be short and sweet because the pictures will speak for themselves. We originally took over 500 pictures of just the gardens [...]

Saturday, May 17, Netherlands (Sneek)

by Mynde Mayfield on May 20, 2008

We were up at the crack-o-dawn hauling our luggage once again–this time to the bus stop for our 3.20€ ride to the airport. An hour later, we were waiting for our flight to Amsterdam via Munich, munching on a ham and cheese pie we picked up from a baker with 45 types of beer [...]

Friday, May 16, Athens

by Mynde Mayfield on May 19, 2008

Delphi was somewhere that Mynde had been looking forward to since we decided that Greece was our vacation destination. However, there were a few considerations that were not completely realized and/or taken into account during the vacation planning. One such consideration was the extremely quick pace of our itinerary and another was that [...]

Thursday, May 15, Athens

by Mynde Mayfield on May 19, 2008

After we slept in more than we’ve slept in on any other day on this trip, we rolled out of bed at 8:15 a.m.! We enjoyed a continental breakfast and checked email, etc. and then headed out to see the Acropolis on what was turning out to be a very clear and warm day [...]

Wednesday, May 14, Paros/Athens

by Mynde Mayfield on May 18, 2008

We decided to catch the early ferry to Athens since the weather seemed to be headed in a chilly direction… again. Our original plan was to catch the 7pm ferry from Naxos and arrive in Athens around 11:40pm. It was going to be a “run” to figure out where to pick up the Metro to [...]

Tuesday, May 13, Naxos/Paros

by Mynde Mayfield on May 17, 2008

Keeping with our new plans, we hopped on the early ferry to Paros. It was a short ride and only 7 Euros, so why not?? Amy met Mynde and I at her restaurant with baby (Marley) in tow and quickly escorted us to a room. Steve, a Canadian living on Paros for [...]

Monday , May 12, Naxos

by Mynde Mayfield on May 15, 2008

We awoke to a chilly, overcast day and decided that the scooter option was out. Way out. Naxos is BIG…and big means that we would not only freeze our butts off, but that they would be sore from riding around on such a little seat. I guess I should qualify “big”–it is [...]
