So the blog has been a bit dead for the past few weeks mainly due to my absence from the states and lack of internet access.
However now being stateside again I'm gonna do my best to recount my overseas experience via blog posts. I'll most likely document a day or two along with a few pictures and my recollections and thoughts from those days.
Alright without further ado here goes Days 1-2:
We left Pittsburgh 9:30 AM on May 16, layover in Philly til 4:20 and then Greece bound we were! We got into Greece roughly nine hours later and then got onto a bus to take us to the quaint little town of Tolo. There we checked into our hotel and had lunch at a local pizzeria which was quite delicious. We then headed for the beach right by the hotel and four of us (Nate, Kirk, Jenny, and me) decided to swim out to this little island approximately half to three quarter mile away. Getting there we explored the little area, the little church building that was there, and etched our names into a cactus. Swimming back of course was so much easier due to the aid of the current. Then after a wonderful dinner we went and got some fresh gelato and boy was it tasty.
Now all this happened in the very first day we landed in Greece, crazy huh? Kirk made that astute comment and especially since we did that whole island swim we were pumped to see what was in store for us in the following days. Other than that it was just so amazing to see the beauty of the Lord's creation and the blessing we had to just even be there at that time. Little did I know that I was in for one heck of an adventure.
