Paul's Journeys and our journey...

So much life has happened in the past few weeks- I'll try to catch up and end our Greece photos now. Here are a few shots from the roads along the Grecian coastline; I don't have any good ones, but it is full of amazing vistas. It was amazing to think how Paul got so far without a car and freeways, or even a good pair of Nike's and Gatorade. Berea, for example, was up in the hills a good distance from Philippi.




This was from a little 'beach' stop. Our guide was so great, in letting us be her first ever group to stop at a beach town for a handful of hours, as well as the first group she took to bungee jump.

I took some notes during the week, while she'd give her little 'lessons' on Greek Mythology, history and various cultural and agricultural facts. She pointed out Marathon and Delphi, and places of significance as we journeyed. I think she had a doctorate in Archaeology (big in Greece), but she knew a ton about every subject. At first it was awkward to listen to her, because her voice was such a high pitch (I wonder if it's only American ears that prefer low pitched voices?) and we kept asking her to turn down the mic on the bus. However, she became quite endearing to us all throughout the 5 days.
