As many of you know, our family has set out on a 4 month travel adventure. We left Anchorage on August 31 and flew over the pole on a Condor flight to Frankfurt then on to Kos, Greece. Suresh pulled his first all nighter! This is him at 4:00 am Anchorage time in the Frankfurt airport.
As soon as we made it to Kos, Suresh just couldn't wait to swim. I think he is half dolphin!
We spent the first few days exploring Kos. That is an old castle in the background. Greece is covered with them...
It didn't take Suresh long to find the sheep down the street from our hotel. We made a trip each morning after breakfast to feed them.
The islands have so many ancient ruins! They are set up like public parks and are free to explore. We played hide and seek in this one. Suresh pretended he was Mogley, I was King Louie, and Rick was Belue.

After a few days in Kos, we were united with the Kalos Manolis. She was the trusty sailing vessel that we would call home for the next two weeks.
Suresh is a natural sailor. Although he did get the pukes once, for the most part the big seas never bothered him. I wish we could say the same!
This was Suresh's favorite spot on the boat. As a result, I often had to brave the precarious bow. Notice that all the pictures depict calm seas...thats because it is hard to take photos when the wind is blowing 35 knots and the waves are 6 feet!!
Eventually Suresh did take over the boat. He donned his pirate gear and his pirate snarl to take over the helm....Rick didn't have a chance!
Although Libby did encourage the pirate take-over, we were so glad when she showed up to be first mate!!!
