1st Night in Greece

Session #1 students arrived safely in Athens and have settled in their new apartments. Classes have started for all of the students meaning, yes they will have some work to do over the coming weeks. In addition, the Journey to Greece students met with the Hellenext "Athens Fellowship" group headed by Leon Stavrou and Bill Shuller . After everyone became comfortable in their new surroundings the Journey to Greece and Hellenext Fellowship students all went out to dinner in Monostiraki together!

On their second day in Greece, the students enjoyed the sights and sounds of the beautiful Glyfada area. The Greek national holiday was met with students walking through the sand at the beaches as well as a few covered in sand after they walked up out of the water and flopped down onto a towel. (The Haagen-Daz cafe' was happy to see the students as well.)

As of today students have been scheduled to attened a tour of the Acropolis on the 18th AND the students will also be visiting Mycenae, Epidaurus, Napolion and ancient Olympia over this beautiful weekend.

Bringing the post to a close, the students are working dilligently in their classes looking forward to a weekend only matched in excitement by the Lakers beating the Celtics; which if you live in either of the teams respective hometowns is HUGE!
