  6. As always thanks for the Updates Joe! We really enjoyed the photos and the waters of Andros look as beautiful as they have been described. I'll bet the cadets really enjoyed the cliff diving. I'm a bit nervous just looking at the photos! Enjoy your time in Greece! Happy Blogging!

  8. The video is wonderful, I really like the sunset,too. Tried to send you a pic but couldn't get it through. The pastry reminds me of a strudel and it looks delicious.

  10. Nice pictures! Thank you. But in three cruises I have never seen a picture of my son! He's a senior now. Any chance? Is he really on the boat???
