Saturday was Day Two for classes & Bob began his teaching. I sat in on the Bible Class re the apostle Paul. For introduction, he used a portion of a movie about Paul & continued with power points. It was interesting & will make our travels to the areas Paul traveled more meaningful. I also sat in on International Relations & I'm hoping it will prove beneficial, too. We both sat in on Greek class & now have some of the more frequently used phrases to practice on. We've been introduced to some of the shops & cafes up & down the street where we are & treated to gyros & ice cream here - both quite good! Sunday turned out to be a marathon day. We left via special bus at 10:00 a.m. & didn't return until 9:30 p.m. We attended worship services at the Greek congregation in the morning & with the English speaking congregation in the evening. Both were enjoyable. We have "whisper sets" so Tim can interpret for us. After morning services we visited the Plaka where we had lunch & then walked up to the Acropolis & Areopagus. Access has been improved since our last visit, thanks to the Olympics. A lot of re-construction is being done on the Parthenon & surrounding buildings, but it is all still quite impressive. As we sat on Mars Hill, one of the students read the words of Paul from Acts & then we sang several songs before "hiking" down & back through the Plaka to our bus. We headed to another area on the outskirts of the city (Glyfada) & were treated to ice cream before the evening worship began. My old brain cells are wondering what is going on - so much information being thrown their way in such a short amount of time! If I can retain just some of it, I will be happy. Today was Class Day Three & thus our second class in Humanities. This will also be of great benefit as we travel. The weather has been somewhat like home - unusual for this time of year - not terribly hot, but warm in the day & cool at night. Some are planning to head into Porto Rafti & visit the beach this afternoon. (Porto Rafti is the name of the town where we are living. It is south east of Athens proper.) Thanks to those of you who have read & written!
