I thought these two were two of my best!


Looking up a flower lined street...mountains in the distance...


The typical Greek blue and white, with a dash of bold red!


I know flowers are sort of standard stuff to take pics of on vacation, but I just found some of these exceptionally beautiful!









Me and bubba at Spinaloga- the old army base and also an old leper colony! The other pic is from Knossis, an old recreated Minoan village

Family!



Me and Bubba and Mom at a restaurant. Me and Aunt Jan pose on the rocks below our villa- right on the ocean!



The view from the breakfast place at the resort and the sign for our room- #62 Santorini

Our Greek resort



The view of the main part of the resort 'Porto Elounda' in Crete with the mountains in the background.

Greece pics




The lounge chairs at our villa in Crete and the pretty port view in Elounta (the town where our resort was located). The restaurant we ate at the first night is in the background.

Me and Mom!

India

Things I will Miss about India......
- cheap travel all over Asia
- reeaaalllly good Indian food....reaallly cheap!
- my stray dogs, Brownsville, Fatty (aka ‘This one’), Trixie (‘The Trixifier’) and Blackie
- wearing super colourful clothes and not being ‘super-Jessie-weird-colouful’ just ‘normal’!! Not that I mind being super Jessie colourful in my own way....it is kinda one of the things that defines my style and I like that! But Indians do colour well- Indians love bright pink, blue, yellow, red....and love wearing it all together even more! Men seem to wear pink shirts more often than, say, white or black!
- year round summer....(most of the time..I mean it gets stinkin hot in March and April!)
- not being freaked out that there are geckos all over my house and yard
- Miss Ashi and all the other wonderful, talented teachers I met here



Things I can’t wait to get away from in India........
- the pollution...from burning garbage, from litter, from public defecation, and mostly from diesel fuel
- the overt staring/ogling/’Eve teasing’ (as it is called here) by men at me, my legs when I run in shorts, and especially the laughing at me when I get angry at them
- Indian television channels that play the same commercials OVER and OVER and OVER again.....2 years running now!
- the dry, dry, bone dry heat from March to May
- the road leading from the highway into the school lot- 1 km of literally the worst potholes in the universe!

Things I can’t wait for in Canada........
- Timmy’s!!
- seeing my friend Jenn’s new baby girl Chloe Aleta Davey (and Jenn and Shawn too!)
- seeing my fam and my doggy Riley
- sleeping in a bed that is not as hard as a rock
- seeing Chloe Aleta Davey....I am already obsessed!
- living and working (I hope) in Toronto and enjoying all TO had to offer
