Another try 2...

Fast forward to May 2010 (because winter in New England wasn't too interesting and this web application is still giving me problems), we crossed the atlantic for a tour of the "G" countries. First it was Germany and then Greece, but the pictures seem to have uploaded in reverse order.



Santorini, Greece




More Santorini - view of the caldera and volcano















Jon enjoying the local brew - Munich Germany!























A reunion of sorts with Jana in Eichstaett














Glorious Heidelberg!
















Touring the Weinheim area with Petra!













Our trip was the last time I will have 2 weeks off in a row for at least the next 3 years since now my fellowship only offers 2 weeks vacation for the entire year and was a celebration of sort for the end of 3 long years of residency.




Graduation party - June 2010!
























A quick trip to north Florida to visit Granny and Jon's extended family, most of whom I had never met even after almost 5 years of marriage!























The Niederer reunion of the century - July 3, 2010 - a sampling of my great grandfather's belongings and inventions. Note the little black bag - that is all he brought with him from Switzerland when he emigrated in 1910!





Finally, all caught up! I can now get to the real reason I even got the motivation to post in the next post!
