Greece

Unfortunately my last post that I wrote about Athens didn't publish for whatever reason. Last Friday night we arrived in Athens and stayed there for 2 nights where we had the opportunity to see some of the wonders of such an ancient and historic city.

This included getting lost, looking at a really interesting archeological museum and then wandering through the ruins of the acropolis and the surrounding archeological sites also. It was really amazing to be standing on the grounds of a building that is so old. The acropolis is even mentioned in the bible, that's how old it is...

From there we went to Mykonos a beautiful Greek island where we could soak up the sun and the wonders of God's creation. A little holiday within our big holiday. The place where we stayed was run by a beautiful Greek lady named Maria who had very limited English in her vocabulary, and looked down over one of the beaches on the island. We could even watch the sunset out of the door of our room as it went down over the sea. It was a beautiful break from everything including technology and the Internet :) (not that I think that Jemma would wholeheartedly agree about the break from Internet :P)

Now we are in Santorini another beautiful island. We got here today so we haven't seen that much apart from an amazing sunset. But it most certainly is beautiful
