A little more Greece...

The first picture is of a stray kitty at the Temple of Athena in Delphi. Then there's a cloud shot I took in Crete (I love those clouds shots!) :) The last four are from an area in Greece called Meteora. It's known for the Greek Orthodox monasteries on top of the amazing rock towers. Today they have bridges and such to get to the monasteries, but back when they were built they were using pullies with big baskets to pull up the material and people.

The first monastery shown below is where the final scenes of the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only, was filmed.

Sedona (finally, some seasonal fall feeling in arizona)

So I went to Sedona and the Grand Caynon two weekends ago with my dad. We stayed in this wonderful little resort that consisted of individual cabins. Saturday we drove up to the Grand Canyon but none of my pics turned out well. Sunday we went out on a jeep tour through red rock country :) You can see the pink jeep in the fifth picture down. And the picture below that was one of the trails we went down. I had never been "off roading" before, so it was quite fun!!
