I have been meaning to blog about the trip for a few days but I have been tring to catch up with other things, and now that I try to blog, I have run into a couple of problems, namely my dog and my baby. Tonight I sat down and as I started to look through the pictures, my daughter demanded to see them so I put her on my lap and we went throught the slide show. Then I tried to distract her with the helium balloon that Marie got me for my birthday. Of course once our self appointed canine security chief saw the balloon move, the room exploded into a frienzy of jumping and barking. I have to give Sophia credit though, climbing to the top of the couch to leap off and try to get the balloon off of the ceiling shows real dedication.
Anyhow things I learned about traveling with a baby in Europe (some of which I already knew):
Its best if they already are eating normal food.
Bring baby tylenol etc, for teething.
Babies can't keep up with our usual backpacking, different-city-every-night schedual.
Even at 9 months, there are strong oppinions-its all about animals, bright colors, and fluffy things, not old stones and ruins.
It would be eisier to have a babysitter or something for those long "boring" times like museums.
The Greeks were reasonably good about us traveling with the baby.
The French were not.
