Today we drove from Pristina, Kosovo down through Macedonia and on to Meteora, Greece. The drive took close to 9 hours, and we were grateful that Ethan has been such a great sport on this trip! He’s happy in his carseat with his iPod, crayons, coloring books, stickers, and Smarties (the European ones that are like M&Ms, but better).

The drive was beautiful, and it was fun seeing the sites along the way. We passed by some ancient Roman gladiator ruins in Macedonia, and it’s amazing thinking about how far back they date. In Greece, we drove past a Nuclear power plant, and it made me think of the Simpsons. I can just picture Homer working with some uranium somewhere in there…

Ethan spotted some dogs at the Greek border, and wanted to get out and play with them. We had to go through several border crossings, which was time consuming, but it was really interesting getting some stamps in our passports from countries we never expected to get.
