Greece

Tour this year was great!!!
Well, it is every year but it was just so fun!

Greece was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Sooo much history. Friendly people. Beautiful waters.
Missionaries. Yummy food.
I can hardly wait to go back!

Fez was the best photographer the whole trip and took lots of pictures.
The next few posts are just going to be picture overload.
Bear with me; I will try to explain what I can...


The view of the Acropolis from Mars Hill, or Aeropagus.
It is where Paul testified to the Greek philosophers of the day.
Read it in Acts 17.
Pretty neat.

We took a ferry to Aegina which is the closest island.
We went swimming in the Aegean Sea,
rented scooters and rode around the island.
Best way to experience the island!

The water was incredible!!!

Performance at American Community School.
We gave school supplies to the students and a
bunch of quilts to an Armenian kid shelter.

The Theater of Dionysus

The Parthenon.
Just Amazing...

The view of Mars Hill (Aeropagus) from the Acropolis.
Also view of Athens, city of 5 million people.

The Temple of Zeus. It took like 600 years to build, was completed for one year and then someone came and destroyed it! Only 15 columns remain out of 106.

The Acropolis at night from Mars Hill.
Awesome.

We stopped at a port for dinner about an hour away from the Turkey border. It was a beautiful, cool night!

That's all for Greece!
Our adventures in Turkey will be coming soon!
