Welcome
to our web site and we hope you will enjoy reading about our travels.
Two
weeks after our departure, on the afternoon of September 11, news
reached us about the tragic attacks in America. The ship on which
we were traveling, GTE Millennium, was docked in Piraeus, Greece
and about to depart for Italy. The Captain made a public on-board
announcement giving his condolences to those who lost loved ones
in the attacks and stating that security was being stepped up
on the ship as well as at the ports we would visit.
In
spite of this dramatic change to the world we know, we are carrying
on with most of our original plan to visit countries and sites
where western civilization has its roots. We have decided, however,
to abbreviate our travels and we will visit China and Japan at
another time.
Our
pictures and stories follow. Thank you for reading along and please
stay in touch.
Our
prayers and thoughts are with America.
