Sea of Destiny 2015

April 27 - May 11, 2015

I was home just long enough to run a load of laundry and hug my new grandson, Jack before I flew to Athens, Greece. Traveling this time with The American Institute of Archaeology, Yale, Cornell, Harvard and Princeton alumni travel groups.

Here are just a few memories - of the historical sights, cities and countryside we visited on this tour.
