This was our ninth Rick Steves' Tour, and once again, we were looking forward to learning about people, places, history, and culture that we knew little about.  In fact, most of our knowledge of Greece came from literature class. Paul was a high school English teacher for 18 years and taught a lot of the classics set in these parts, and Pam had read them as a student. Greece was also a part of Europe we hadn't traveled to, and once again, we were ready to learn and gain new perspectives!

For this trip, we were excited to be joined by Pam's sister, Lori, her daughter, Abby, and Lori's fiancé, Derek. This was Derek's first trip to Europe, and we were all excited for him to experience it with us!
