Over the summer I went on a  week long cruise around the Greek Islands on the Silver Whisper.  One stop that I just loved was Paros, Greece.  Paros is a fairly popular island for tourists and religious pilgrims.   There is regular ferry service from Athens and neighboring islands, as well as a small airport, making Paros quite accessible.  I wandered around the town of Parikia for a bit before visiting a famous church and the beach.  The town is full of brightly colored flowers set against white washed houses and stone alleys.  

One of the things I loved the most about Round Hill was the enormous vegetable garden on the property. The garden is located at the top of the hill, a quick walk in the cool mornings-a longer walk during the heat of the day!

Heading out from Nairobi, our first stop in Kenya was Tortilis Camp, which is located in a conservancy adjoining Amboseli National Park.  Amboseli is known for its large herds of elephants.  Cynthia Moss has studied the elephant families in the park for generations and many elephants in the park are followed closely by researchers.  Amboseli is also noted for the incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is on the border of Kenya and Tanzania.  However, depending on the cloud cover, you will not always be able to see the mountain.  We were lucky to get several really good views while we were there.  Tortilis Camp has some beautiful vantage points of Kilimanjaro, and due to the clear weather, we were often able to see it from the main dining area and bar.
