I was blessed to be able to accompany some friends of mine to Europe for a Mediterranean cruise in September 2009. The weather was beautiful and we went to many ports along the 12 day trip. This gallery highlights our time in Sicily, Italy and Athens, Greece. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and is the location of Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. Athens is the capital of Greece, and is the home of the Acropolis. I hope that you enjoy this gallery.
