Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & Canadian Boxing Day!

We are enjoying Christmas on the small island of Corfu, just off the west coast of Greece.  We are blessed with blue skies, warm weather, and a terrific hostel (more like a resort) situated right on the beach.  Our room balcony overlooks the sandy bay with a view of the crisp blue Mediterranean as far as the eye can see.

Apologies to all, I’m way behind on posting the rest of Italy.  The place we are staying at right now has no internet and is secluded from the nearest town.  We are absolutely loving Greece, our 20th country visited.  It’s hard to wrap our heads around the fact that we only have 3 weeks left on this excursion.  Traveling so far and so long is taking its toll.  Our spirits are still very high and we are loving every moment, but we are growing weary and will kiss the North American soil upon return.

 Where we are:

I love you all very much and pray that you enjoy the Holidays with your friends and family.  Remember to be so thankful and grateful for what our Loving Father has given us — His Son, Jesus Christ, who willfully came to the earth, lived, and died in sacrifice of our sins.  Praise be to Jesus, and may we keep him at the nucleus of our celebrations this year. 

Many Blessings to you!

Matt

  3. So I heard you wanted my leg lamp, you Cucaracha. No way, Jose. I wrapped it up for my brother and let me tell ya, it was his best Christmas YET! haha In reading through your massive novel, I’ve come to realize you’re a decent writer. I rarely see any gramatical errors, and quite frankly, it’s enjoyable. Take it from me, that’s a compliment. Tasha doesn’t read. You’re a lucky jerk for getting to travel the universe, but I look forward to your first rude text of 2008. Safe travels to you, friend. Enjoy the last super amazing days of your lifetime.
