One of my favorite places in the entire world is Meteora in Greece. It is hard to describe and experiencing it is something I will never forget and always cherish. There are numerous mountains where monks built structures to live and work before engineering allowed for it. Pulling all materials up with primitive devices is mind boggling. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
Sounds like a wonderful trip! By the way I am back.

My niece just got back from Greece and she said it is still beautiful as long as you stay out of Athens Sheila Anderson

I can't imagine the Monk that had the vision to build on top of those formations. I can hear the rest of the Monds groaning...

Hi Sheila
You've definitely increased my interest in going to Greece. Love that second photo - hat's the monastery that was featured in the James Bond film, right? Incredible how these were built.

Sheila, you have been *featured* in today's Tuesday Travelogue--thank you! (And I wanted to get married in Greece, but at the time it was too hard to work out details from so far away, so we got married on the shores of Maui at sunset instead).

Thanks Gayle. I really appreciate this. It is never too late to go. Have a good day.

Mind boggling as to how they did it; divine as to how it looks.
One of my favorite countries in the world to visit.
I've got a Boston friend going over in the fall for a few weeks, to chill, relax & learn Greek. Because...why not spend 3 weeks in Greece?
Why not indeed Claude. Sounds great to me too. Nice to see you. Enjoy the day. Sheila
