Known as one of the best places in Greece to watch the sunset, Cape Sounion doesn't disappoint! These pictures are actually from this last spring, as you can tell by the sweater. I'm looking forward to our time there with this summer's group!
On the mountain stands a temple to Poseidon, which makes sense, because it's surrounded by water on three sides. On the way there, my dad told us one of the Greek Mythology stories about how the Aegean Sea got its name. When we got to the temple, we had a worship service overlooking the calm waters and then took silly pictures in front of the temple!

This last trip back to the US, we had a layover in Amsterdam, so my parents decided to make it a few nights. My mom's favorite flower is a tulip, and Amsterdam is famous for their pretty tulips, so we had to go to the Keukenhof Gardens one day. Tulips EVERYWHERE. There are so many different varieties and colors of tulips on display! I loved wandering aimlessly through the different groups of flowers. They had a rose exhibition, and oh, me oh, my! They had red, white, and blue roses; they had pink and green roses; they had every kind of rose imaginable! They had carnival-type booths selling popcorn, strawberries, hotdogs, and all sorts of fun food, so of course I had to get some strawberries and popcorn to make the day complete. ^^^ Currently my background on my phone. SO pretty! The Keukenhof Garden is more than a site. It's a smell, its a feeling. Flowers always bring me such joy, and it was such fun to spend a day at this beautiful place. If Amsterdam is on your list for places to visit, add a day for the gardens!
