Greecester

During our Easter break a group of us from ESI headed down to Greece. We had an amazing time. We aslo had a very tired time. We sleep in a hostel 2 of the 5 nights we were in Greece. The other nights were spent sleeping in an airport and the floor of a boat. The sceneary in Greece was amazing. Almost everywhere we went we could see both the sea and the mountains. I loved it. My faviorite places were probably Delphi or Cape Sunion. I also just really enjoyed walking through the markets of Athens. The last day we were in Athens we had a sort of contest to see who could buy the tackiest souviner under 3 euoro. It was really fun. I spent Easter on Crete. I was on a sort of pier looking out into the sea. Pretty good place to read the Bible and reflect on life. Seeing all the sights in Greece I was amazed by two things: 1) That people could build such beautiful and amazing buildings 2,500 years ago. 2) How everything fades.
