Wanderlust Wednesday: Greece

When I saw Mamma Mia!, starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, I knew I had to add Greece to my bucket list. The whitewashed houses and buildings, some with blue roofs (mostly churches), are a beautiful contrast to the sea seen in most photos.

I have found myself drawn to other bloggers posts about “links they love”, so today, starts the first in a series. My plan for this series – “Links I Love” – is that it will become a monthly series.
