i am posting this blog from old town in Rhodes right now. we climbed to the acropolis of Lindos and spent some time up top where there were fortifications were built over the originals. the temple of athena is still there. amazing that these structures have been around since the 11th century B.C. we have seen the palace of the grand master, walked the best preserved mideval streets, spent the morning in Lindos, and did this all with a guide. his name is Dimitris, which is greek for Jimmy. he was awesome, he is a local and shared a lot of information about the land, history and the culture. we loved it.
i am loving Greece. i am not normally a sight seeing type of person, but i think that this has been my favorite sight seeing trip that i have ever been on. if you love sight seeing you will love it, if you don't you will love it...either way the culture here is wonderful, the country beautiful and the food is amazing. it would be a fun place to live...although you would have to learn greek. you can get by with english and even some spanish, but i get frustrated sometimes with the misunderstandings.
we really miss Corban. don't get me wrong, having this time together is awesome and we are having a lot of fun and laughs and whatnot...but we miss our little boy. we are also finding it impossible to get in contact with Ron and Kathy! R&K if you are reading this check your email...or just email us at jandacrane@gmail.com. if you are reading this and can call R&K please call them and tell them to check emails and send us one.
we really want to post some pictures while we are here, but cannot at the moment. we will as soon as we get the opportunity.

I didn't realize you were going to leave Corban when you went on the cruise. I remember the first time I did that Michelle was just barely one. My advice? (given to be by Curtis, at the time) Even if somethings wrong, there's nothing you can do about it, so just relax and enjoy the time with your husband. And...I'm sure all is well!
