Catching Up...

I'm about three posts behind here, so will try to catch up in the next day or so. The photos in this post are from the trip Nathan and Finn made to Cassis last week. (Note the astounding jump in quality of the images here? That's because Nathan took these. Most of the photos I've posted have been mine--shot with my iPod. Clearly a better camera and a far better photographer make all the difference.)

Above is Finn, master of technology, playing with the iPod on the bus ride.

Below, the town of Cassis.

The harbor.

Nathan says he got lucky with this one, catching this kid just as he did this flip off the dock.

This one's a stunner, no? The group took a boat ride out into the Mediterranean, and, as you can see here, the views were breathtaking.

Back in New York, Ross told us we'd love how clear the waters of the Mediterranean are. "You can read a book through the water," he said. I didn't believe him then, but he was right.

Finn has spotted the beach ahead in this one and is asking to jump ship and swim for shore (where he can build a sand castle).

Here's one of the village, post-boat ride.

Finn has since told us that he's, "done with medieval villages." Yeah. They're so last week.

This is the church in Cassis from the outside, and below, Finn lighting a candle inside the church. (The grandparents will all be pleased to know that we were complimented on Finn's excellent church behavior, as he was reverent and uncharacteristically silent inside the sanctuary... And it only took 4.9 years to achieve that silent reverence in church.)

(I know, he's wearing his cap inside... But did you read the line above: he was quiet.)
