sad day

So last night my computer died. So it looks like I will not be able to update as much as I would like to :(

But I will do my best to post as often as I can!

Besides that I am now in ROME!!!
It is amazing, I love it, and I am here for 3 weeks!

Good Bye Athens

Today we left Athens, Greece and moved on to Olympia! On the way to Olympia we made a stop to see the ancient city of Corinth. I had the chance to stand in front of the ancient bema where the apostle Paul stood trial in Acts! What an amazing feeling.

We then were on a bus for 4 hours to get to Olympia. We are staying in this amazing four star hotel... but only for one night. I could get used to this place however. It is so beautiful!

Tomorrow night we get on a boat and sail to Italy. From there we travel almost every night until we reach Rome on the 7th. I am very excited to reach Rome.

Something I have discovered about myself since I have been here in Greece, is that I am fascinated with Greek mythology! I am looking forward to studying it more once I return to Atlanta.

This weekend a group of us went to the beaches again and that was a lot of fun. Already everyone is bonding so well on this trip and I am enjoying the new people I have met so much!

I was very homesick when I first arrived here, but things are much better now that I am getting acclimated to the area and the people.

Ok peace out-- heading to bed :)
