Cruise of a lifetime - Mediterranean

After spending 12 days on the ship, Brillance of the Seas, Lindsay and I pinched ourselves as we realized we had just gone on a cruise in the historcial Mediterranean Sea. It was an amazing trip! We saw ancient Greek ruins in Athens and many reminders of the great Roman Empire in Rome, Pisa, Ephesus, and more. We toured the Vatican and got to stand in the same place Paul stood during his time in Ephesus - simply incredible. Seeing history from 300 BC (and some before) was breathtaking. (Not to mentioned the hot weather at times was breathtaking too!) And I used to think Williamsburg, Virginia was really old!!
We were joined on this cruise by both sets of our parents, all three sets of my aunts and uncles, and several wonderful friends - 17 of us in total. Our American group took the Mediterrnaean by storm!
We are now visiting Lindsay's aunt, uncle and cousins in Basel Switzerland and having a fantastic time.
