Our favorite was Santorini!!
My least favorite was walking down from Santorini.  Dodging donkey poo and slipping every 4-5 steps.  
John and Ryan being stupid Americans.
Wes living it up in Turkey.
The boys in Athens.
Wine tasting in Santorini!!
The above and below are Mykonos.

The above and below are in Oia, Santorini...most beautiful!!
 
At least 10 times during our trip, other people were taking Wes' picture!  This woman actually told John to get out of her way while she took his pic!  Is that normal?
Yummy pasta at the pool deck!


Super Paradise Beach in Mykonos...clothing optional.  John and Jed took a walk down the beach with Wes while Kristen and I rested on our lounge chairs.  They were back within 5 mins since the nude gay beach began shortly after their walk began!!!  
Wes throwing money into the Trevi Fountain!!
John dangled Wes into the water until the guards whistled at him to STOP!!

Inside the Coliseum...so amazing!!
Wes crawling over the grate that leads to the buried Popes...some took his picture and some looked in horror!

What an awesome trip! I'm so glad that you guys are traveling so much. It's such a great opportunity and who knows when we'll ever get another chance. It's too bad we're trying to save like crazy right now; otherwise, we'd be traveling more too. I love the pic of you wine tasting. Cute dress! The plumber butt pic is great too!! Wes is so adorable and I think it's great that you guys take him everywhere with you! I'm glad you had so much fun.
