I'm writing this from our hostel in Athens. It's definitely hostel-y, especially after the other places we've stayed at in Greece. The first night we were here was the night in a very nice hotel, thanks to Isaac's boss. It was GORGEOUS - possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in some good ones. Then we drove to Tolo, a little beach town on the Pelopponese peninsula, where we stayed in a cute little hotel with a big room w/ a kitchen. So to be back to a hostel? Well, it's getting us ready to be happy to go home. :-) Although i'm already almost to that point. I adore traveling, and this trip has been AWESOME, but I love my house and my town and my church and my clothes (I an going to reenact the scene from Gilmore Girls when They get home from Europe and Rory goes up to her rock drawer and says, "Hello, boys." LOL.) and my family and Mandy and eating food other than bread and fruit and many, many other things. We have a list of several restaurants we're going to go to too. Ah... Real food. :-)
Anyway. I want to tell you about our trip, but that will wait till I get home and can show you pics to in with. We're hoping to throw a Europe party a few weeks after we get home. We'll eat bread, cheese, fruit, cider, and the girls can year scarves like every woman in England and France. I'll have to get the pics organized and the video edited by them though. We'll see about that.
I found out that the only people going to El Salvador from my church this summer are me, my friend Codie, Ken, and another friend John. That's it! I have no idea why so few are going, but it makes me sad. (Isaac was going to go, but then one of his coworkers quit, so he really shouldn't.) Codie and I will have a blast though... And not just cause she's fluent in Spanish!
Today was amazing. We went to ancient Corinth and walked where the apostle Paul walked! We read Acts 18 while staring at the Bema seat he was brought before. SO COOL.
IDK if I'll write again before we get home or not. Bye!
