The Lost Boys
Welcome to our blog! We will be writing about our adventures throughout Europe over the next half year (or longer). In case you read our title and thought "Lost Boys, wtf?" The Lost Boys are Peter Pan's followers who do not want to grow up. In order to stop the process of growing up and avoid responsibilities the Lost Boys escaped to Never Never Land. In our case Europe is our Never Never Land, a place to escape from growing up, from getting jobs, from becoming real people and having a shit ton of fun along the way!

Mark is the bobble head of the infamous Mark Bradford, father of the Bradford family. The Bradford family took me in under their wing while I lived in Indiana and so I thought I would take a piece of the along with me on this trip.

So if you find yourself being a grown up with responsibilities and are bored at work or at home, your escape is only a click away!

Thanks for reading!

Susan's Memoirs #3...

Michael scored us a quaint little beach hotel in Thessaloniki.  We stood on hallowed ground where St. Peter wrote letters to the Thessalonians and preached the Christian doctrine of one God and the savior his son.  Many religious roadside worship sites dot the roadside.  The number of small churches almost outnumbers residents on some of the small towns we drive through.  The Greek Orthodox Church We went into hade many gold framed pictures of Saints.  I observed several people go up to these pictures and kiss them with their lips.  I had to see if they merely looked as if they were kissing the frame but sure enough there were multiple lip marks on the glass.  Germophobes wouldn’t make it in a Greek Orthodox religion.

Also want to thank Michael for supplying me with super literature to read on the trip.  The travel on trains and planes is made so much more peasant with the “kindle” and the biographical novel, Unbroken written by the same author who wrote Seabiscut.

  1. Wish we had more time to spend there. It was fun eating at a variety of places for one meal in that city even with the domestic abuse scene right out our dinning window!
