Our Greek Vacation

In May of 1997 my wife, Alex, and I flew to Athens and then traveled to a couple of islands among the Cyclades, then on to Istanbul. I took the digital camera that I had bought with this trip in mind, and brought back about fifty pictures from Greece. I will not include all of them here (you probably know what the Parthenon looks like as well as I do) but will show about a dozen of the particular places that we went. There is a self-guided tour (you can return here at any time) and this a la carte menu of destinations. (There was originally a long discussion of the camera, but interest in the RDC-2 has faded in the intervening decades.)
