First Stop: Athens

Hello friends! Gah! It's so good to be back! The pugs are still a little mad at us for leaving for two weeks, but I have been squeezing them and loving them like you wouldn't believe!

We had the ADVENTURE of a lifetime, and I want to share it with you stop by stop! After almost 30 hours of traveling we got to our first destination, Athens! It was amazing and beautiful!

I even figured out how to read maps (not my best skill), and navigated the metro system. I was really proud of myself!

Olives everywhere. Too bad I do not like olives.

This was one of my favorite days. We took a tram out of the city to this remote beach. We floated all day. I didn't want to leave.

Post-beach wine.

We took a cable car up to the top of a mountain that overlooked the city one night. We arrived shortly before sunset and it was just breathtaking.

Happy as a clam!

And then, as the sun was setting, C asked me to marry her!

What?!

Yeahhhhhhh! She gave me a dollar store ring that she's been carrying around for months. She knew I wanted to pick out a vintage ring, so I got this little gem. It turned my finger green, but when I took it off I had a green band for two days, which was cute. Then for the next few days Cayla couldn't get enough of calling me her fiance. I guess I am off to shop for rings this weekend. Eeek!

Engaged! I can't even believe it!

So, yeah, pretty much Athens was amazing.

So much love,
