To celebrate our 45th anniversary we took a 16 day tour of Greece and Turkey with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) in May 2012.  We really loved it!

With my rekindled interest in photography and the new more capable camera that I "needed" I took over 3,100 photos during this trip.  It was part of the fun of the trip for me. Our travel mates were very tolerant of my constant picture taking - of  them and the wonderful scenery.  The photos will remind me of the great group of folks we traveled with and the sights we saw.
