Day 81 of 400

Back from Greece! Katie and I had a fabulous time away. We spent 10 days exploring Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Athens and Santorini were definitely my favorite by far and I cannot wait to visit them again... if I am so fortunate. We visited practically all the ancient ruins in Athens. It was amazing to think that were walking on the same paths that some of the famous ancients had walked. It was quite overwhelming and fascinating and indescribable. I recommend a visit to anyone that gets a chance. Mykonos is known as the windy island. The wind was constant and fierce. We enjoyed the relief from the heat. We spent time relaxing by the pool and on the beach as well as a day of shopping. The views were gorgeous... you will have to check out the pictures on facebook. Santorini was our last stop on the trip. We took a tour to view the land and was fascinated by what we discovered. The island is known for his volcanic existence and our views from the top of this island were amazing.

For the first time in months I was in the same time zone as Brian. I thought it would give us ample time to skype... unfortunately I was wrong. He was off on a run in the beginning and ended up stuck at another base for around 3 days. We were able to email and AIM... but nothing is the same as hearing his voice. Were able to skype a couple of times while I was gone and we skyped last night. He is doing ok. He got the 2 packages I sent before he left. He is having trouble sleeping and we don't know why. I am really worried about him. He is working 12 hour shifts and not sleeping. They have to repair the trucks as they were left in not good condition from the last unit that was there. Unfortunately they are still waiting on parts so it sounds like ALOT of sitting around.

Well that's all I have for updates. He could use some fresh baked goods if someone can send something out. It needs to be something that does ok in the heat.

Please keep in your prayers.
