Went to dinner and 60 minutes later this happened. Pics from our balcony. We had to Kung Fu fight through the crowd to get back to our hotel. Leaving for Santorini tomorrow. Mark

Oh, ya I got married on Friday ; ) Here is my face when I found out I didn't win the lots I wanted in the Legend Auction. Tracy's face is when she found out I didn't win anything in the Legend auction.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Awesome, congrats! I hope you post a full report about the Athens Numismatic Museum. Is the other half excited to spend the honey moon globe trotting to different numismatic museums? image

    Congrats on your wedding! I hope you have cash on hand since I hear credit cards are not being honored and ATMs are being emptied. I went to Santorini with my (Greek) wife a few years back and it is beautiful. Hopefully the madness will not impact your time there.

    Let's just hope he got on Facebook first before posting on the PCGS message boards or else she's got a REAL problem. Should we warn her somehow?

    Saw a picture on the news here of that crowd in Athens that you photographed, and the story estimated the crowd at 13,000 people. Sounds a little low to me.
