Greece

We loved Greece. We only got a little taste of this country, but we want to return.


In Athens the highlight was experiencing the Acropolis, with it's Parthenon, Propylaes and Athena Polias. At the foot of the Acropolis we walked upon Mars hill, where the Apostle Paul preached the gospel to the citizens. We took a picture of our own Paul, sitting upon the rock. :)


In Rhodes, we took a self-guided tour of the old city, which is surrounded by strong walls and is one of the best preserved and largest medieval settlements of Europe. Knights from the time of the crusades have left their mark upon Rhodes and this was seen in the carvings and architecture of the city. We also had fun frolicking in the Aegean Sea and collecting shells and rocks.
