pictures!!

our hotel here in delphi has wireless internet, which means alex can send pics from his iphone to my email, and i can upload them! hooray! so, here are a few fairly recent ones, starting with the olive harvest in sardinia:

carl with what seem to be apple-sized olivesliz, june, and me sorting branches out of freshly raked olivesthe fruits of our labor (two days' labor, that is)
on to sicily - here i am overlooking the roman amphitheater in syracuse, where we went on the day-trip from catania

me with another theater, this one greek, and even more impressive (still in syracuse)

this was a huge quarry dug into the cliffside, which created a great echo chamber and was thus dubbed "dionysus' ear." just outside of this massive rock hall was where the athenians were imprisoned by the syracusans at the end of the peloponnesian war.

here we're on to agrigento, on the southern coast of sicily

finally, alex captured the amazing sky over the greek ruins, though we both agreed this sillouette of an olive tree was the most striking.

that's all for now, but hopefully more will come soon!
