Corfu, Greece





We got on a bus and rode 20 minutes out of town to the famous Achilleon Palace which Elizabeth Hapsburg built because she loved Greece so much. She was very fond of Greek Mythology and Achilles was her favorite she had many statues of the Gods all around and in her home. The view from her back courtyard was beautiful overlooking the town and the coast. It was fun to tour her home and then we saw the famous Mouse Island and went to the big shopping center and ate some local cuisine some delicious eggplant lasagna it was scrumptious!
Bloopers from the trip
I thought i would show off my balancing skills on a short bus ride to our plane on the runway in Paris. Seconds later the driver hit the brakes and I had to adjust my feet to keep from falling over. As I did this I stomped on someones foot behind me and it sounded like an old lady yelping loudly I didn't dare turn around. But of course I had to and there was a man in his nice business suit. Sorry I said and he said no worries it'll be something to remember the trip by. Luckily I didn't have the seat next to him.
On our 7am flight from Venice to Paris I noticed the front of the plane was rather empty. I thought it would be nice to have my own row and get a little more sleep. As we took off and the instance the seat belt sign went off I left my seat near the back of the plane and swiftly moved to the 3rd row. A minute later the flight attendant got up and closed some curtains 2 rows behind me, and as I was putting it together that I was now seated in first class the flight attendant put a delicious breakfast in front of me. My delicious breakfast consisted of a few slices of cheese with a baguette, some fresh fruit and a creme brulle. Needless to say Jeff was rather jealous. I thought to bad this isn't the flight from Paris to Seattle!
Ok for the last silly thing that happened and don't ask me why they all happened to me. As Jeff and I stroll through the streets of Venice I start to feel thirsty and see a cute little water fountain. It has a beautiful stream of water and I have to bend down quite low to get a big drink. Jeff is baffled and looking at me and the fountain and I come up saying why is this fountain so low. He says yeah I don't know what that is for but I don't think you should have drank out of it. Then I realize it is for pets/dogs. After having a bad stomach flu on our last vacation. I began to get worried that I was going to get sick. The rest of that day I was overly paranoid that I was going to get sick any minute. Thank heavens I was fine and never got sick from the cute little dog watering fountain.

  2. Ha ha too funny! Emily told me about the pet fountain and I thought it was hilarious. I also think it's funny that you got first class while Jeff was in economy.
