The 4th of July...London style

No matter how great a vacation one can have, as an American it is a little disappointing not to celebrate the 4th of July with the standard BBQ and fireworks.

Fortunately, we have awesome friends who threw us a little holiday BBQ, and even managed to find a few sparklers.

London

After Greece we spent a few days in London with our friends Shaz, Alex, Harper and Riley aka "Buddy".



Hannah desperately tried to figure out a way to bring Buddy back to the U.S. with us; preferably leaving her brother back in the U.K. I suspect Hannah has an au pair job waiting for her in a few years.

Athens

We spent our last day in Greece in Athens seeing a few of the sights, and visiting with our friend and host, Harry.

More Sifnos

We were fortunate to stay in a charming house with the most amazing view
(Thank you, Alexis).

The house was once an olive oil press and was carved out of the side of the mountain.

Sifnos

After Spetses, we visited the island of Sifnos. It's located in the Cyclades and is one of Apollo's islands.

We stayed in the oldest part of the island; on their Acropolis. The view was stunning and we even had a few wild sheep as neighbors.
