Fulbright Greece/Bulgaria

We had the bon voyage party yesterday.  The weather was beautiful.  In fact, it was like a day you hear about in the Mediterranean, warm, dry, and sunny. The party goers are pictured on the left with the exception of Harper and Grandma.  (One was napping; the other was in the bathroom.) This will most likely be my last post under the “Preparations” category.  I want to thank everyone for the good wishes, cards, and gifts.  They were more than I expected.  I hope to be able to post from Chicago under “The Trip” category.  That will be the first test of  our access to technology while we’re on the road.  I’d also like to start the “Where in the world…?” questions while I’m there.  Jill and I also looked at a couple of the hotel web sites where we’ll be staying.  I’m curious to see if they’re as nice in person as they look on the internet.  Anyway, that’s all for now.  I might think of more later.   …and your comments are always welcome (the good ones at least).
