The kids in their RenFaire costumes

Sarah sent me a photo of the kids in their Rennaissance Faire costumes, which I hvce shared all over the ship, so I thought I would share them with you as well.

Where have I been??

I found an internet cafe in Split, Croatia, so I thought I would jump on a give everyone an update on my travels. The keyboard is in different arrangement (specifically, the "y" and "z" keys are swapped and all the symbols are in different places) so please ignore the occasional misspell.

Anyway, we are in Split now (about 1/2 waz up the Adriatic Sea (meaning tax free!!) but before this we have gone through Toulon, France, Piraeus (Athens), Greece, and Istanbul, Turkey. Here are some photos of me there:

LABOON is actually in the bckground of tis view from the Acropolis, just above where the mountain in the front intersects the coastline.
This is the "Blue Mosque" in Istabul.
This is the Higha Sofia, a mosque I studied in my Architecture History class at Drexel. I was happy to get to see for myself.
This is Garret (CSO), Bill (Suppo), and myself at the place we stopped at for lunch.

Specifically for you Dad, is this monument at the base of the Canakalai Straits. The English name for them is the Dardanelles, and this monument is erected for that WW1 battle. The stone slbs hve writing on them (which I couldnt read, but also there are hundreds gravestones to the right side.
