This week, we are vacationing in Greece. Over these two days, we took a ferry from Greece's main port, Piraeus, to Karpathos, where my family is from. The ferry ride was quite long, but we enjoyed it. We had a comfortable cabin and there were several lounges throughout the ship, where we snacked and played cards. The food on board was tasty and reasonably priced. As we departed Piraeus, we got to see a glimpse of the Hellas Liberty, one of three surviving WWII Liberty Ships that are still afloat. We also saw a beautiful sunset over the sea. The ferry stopped in Santorini, Crete, Kasos, and finally Karpathos. Alex wanted to claim that he had been on some other islands, so he stepped onto the harbors in Santorini and Kasos. I'm very happy that my boys were able to experience this kind of trip.
