greece in may...













before I head onto the rest of the summer here ... i wanted to add a few pictures from Greece for your eyes to see from the adventures in Greece with the sisters and I and my bf and emily's bf. ... we traveled to Thessaloniki first and then took a train 6 hrs to Athens... it was lovely to see a bit more of the countryside some of the mountains as we headed out to meet the rest of the sisters! i could barely contain my excitement as we got nearer to their place of stay! it had almost been 2 years since i had seen most of them and since the whole family was together! (meanwhile, back in Romania, laszlo waited for his Buni and Grandpa to arrive!)
it was amazing to be in a place with so much history and where Jesus and his fellow followers walked, served and slept. to be in the old part of the city and look out onto the new and wonder what it was like to walk there a few hundred years ago. then you have the markets (which i love) that sell just about anything...including their restaurants. i've never seen anyone try and sell
place of dinning more then in Greece.their so, Greece was great and the sea was my most favorite part...beautiful and something i'd been longing for the last 3 years...and this sandy beach, and clear salty water could never compare to the tx beach i've been too...so breathtaking! I think a second trip will have to be planed sometime soon. but the fellowship was the best! what a wonderful time of sisters, the beach, the villa, ice cream, sun dresses, the boy friends, pictures, pictures, pictures (since we were traveling with photographers :), these really amazing waffles with ice cream on top!!! ...the sea and breeze, sunny days, pools, buses, taxis, good greek food, lots of walking, night time walks by the sea in the crazy bustling town full of people on boats, in cafes, and vendors selling nuts, kebabs, bags, sunglasses,....and you name it. Greece, a lovely country with beauty and history surrounding it. Friendly people in a wonderfully unique culture. loved it!
