We had a good trip over. One student missed our rendezvous in Detroit, but managed a direct flight to Amsterdam where she joined us for the final leg to Athens. We've been busy since arriving with settling in; orientations to our facilities & grounds, to the transportation available to us, & to the local area; tours to nearby sites; great food; beautiful scenery; & the first day of classes today. Bob will teach every other day & he begins tomorrow - Saturday. I helped with office work today in preparation for those classes. We sat in on Humanities today & plan to sit in on Greek. I will sit in on his class about the apostle Paul. We are all impressed with this group of students! Those of you who have been here know what a lovely place we are privileged to live in...& the view in every direction is lovely - whether mountains or grape vineyards. The one major site we've visited is the Temple of Poseidon - or rather what's left of that temple. It sits above the Saronic Gulf & is quite impressive. It is considered one of Greece's top ten sites. We were supposed to see the sun set there, but low clouds prevented that. It was beautiful anyway. The dogs have congregated in the front - only four, but they are big dogs, so somebody is making sure they are fed, but we've been told not to feed them. We are thoroughly enjoying this experience, but we do miss those of you back home. Please let us know what is happening in your part of the world.
