For the first time in our family history, we have a slew of family photos\u00a0we could put on our Christmas card this year.<\/p>\n

Jon, Peter, Christina and I\u00a0took a University of Michigan alumni association tour of the Greek islands earlier this month. (If\u00a0you were wondering why there were so few blog\u00a0posts a few weeks ago, that’s why.\u00a0Internet access was tres cher<\/em> aboard our French ship, M.S. Le Diamant, so I took a little vacation from blogging.)<\/p>\n

Happily, the folks who accompanied us on the trip, some of them totally French,\u00a0were only too\u00a0pleased to snap photos of the four of us in various settings — atop the caldera of Santorini, on the deck of\u00a0Le Diamant, and\u00a0strolling the subdued halls of the National Archeological Museum in Athens.<\/p>\n
