After traveling around Rome together, our family friends came to see where we live in Greece! We live in a beautiful port town where there are a few hidden treasures. When showing our friends the town, we stopped by what we call "the point." It is a rocky area that jets out into the sea. A surprise was waiting there for us - wildflowers! Naturally, my friends and I had to pick some, so we had the best time gathering flowers. After out time at the point, we drove to the port to look at the pretty sailboats and have a sweet coffee drink. The blue water always mades me happy! The next day we introduced our friends to Athens. The day started off at the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern olympics were held. We thought we might as well be sporty, so we did cartwheels in front of the stadium. Next, we walked to the piano steps. My friends know how special piano is to me, and they had seen my pictures from the steps, so they wanted to take a look for themselves! The piano steps were as pretty as ever! To end our day on a high point (get it?!) we made the trek up to the Acropolis. It was so windy! That made for lots of laughs and funny pictures. It was so fun to show off Athens to my best friend! We journeyed to Corinth the following day and drank the best orange juice I've ever had at our lunch overlooking the ancient site. Reading Scripture at a place where Paul had been and wrote to the people with my great friends was very special. At the Canal we found some American drinks, so we were all very happy:) The next few days we enjoyed exploring the beach town we live in and Athens. We even climbed the mountain across the street from campus! A great view was awaiting us at the top, so we had to take lots of pictures. What a blessing it was to travel around Europe with our family friends. I am so thankful to have had this wonderful experience. I treasure it daily.
