Comic 30 "Snapshot of Greece #1" © Alissa Garrett 2009

Yes. This actually happened. Though not quite word-for-word. We aren't always witty the first time around.

So Kris and I got home from Greece around 9pm Saturday. We spent Sunday unpacking and otherwise settling in. It was an awesome trip, although nothing really does make a 9 hour flight go quickly. Movies and meals help, though. And after that there's the 4 hour layover and another flight - 4 hours long. During both the flights out and the ones back in, I kept saying, "We're never doing this again." But while we were there all we could think about was when we could come back.

We took in a lot of the major sights - the Acropolis. Korinthos. Santorini. And we went to one of the many beaches. We sampled a lot of food, but hosently weren't very impressed with it. We're both too picky I guess. I never knew Greeks used so much mint in their cooking. They also don't take the time to prepare shellfish the way we do, shrimp come still in their shells and still with their veins. *ew*

I'll be adding pictures to my deviantArt account through the next couple of days, but those will only be the best ones. There will be a more "album-like" gallery later. Be sure to take a look at my deviantArt account.

Also there is something new in the gallery - story boards! I got the idea while looking over my "Snapshot of Greece" sketches and though that even though they aren't quite up to snuff for the comic, they were rather cute looking and I wanted to share them. So if you go to the gallry, there's a new link called Story Boards.
