Back to Piraeus where I set sail with friends over 30 years ago. That time a 72-foot ketch, this time the gigantic Queen Victoria. [Photos are posted on http://gallery.me.com/herrlk.] Visiting the Acropolis is different now - much more elaborate tourist paths, etc, and more protective and restorative work being done on the Parthenon. Still an awesome site.
Now just two weeks from return to NYC - will have been 107 days on the sea, over 40,000 nautical miles, and so many experiences. Ancient and modern wonders, rich and poor, major cities and small villages, elephants and flying fish. New friends and old memories. Holy sites and sites of war.

Lois,
thank you for the great blog -- enjoyed your trip from my computer. I wanted to get one lat comment before you change ships to sail home. There were so many places that one just has to go back to spend more time -- I wonder if one could get off the ship and stay at a port for a month or two and than catch the next ship that passes? Of course one would not be home for years exploring everything. Next trip??? Enjoy the remainder of your days at sea.
