The last stop on the summer tour was Greece...I know...not a bad way to go out. I found another place I could live in Greece. There are so many sleepy little beach towns, it's so beautiful, and the people are so nice! I loved everything about it. I didn't get to explore any of the famous islands. That will be for another trip (Santorini and Mykonos.....I'm coming for ya). I really enjoyed what I did get to see of the country.
I think the coolest part of Athens is that the famous ruins are right in the middle of the city. You can be walking alongside some shops and a Starbucks and you look up and there's the Acropolis. It was really cool to see everything together like that. I'm not a very good describer.....just go see it for yourself.
Hands down, my favorite part of Athens was Mars Hill (Acts 17:16-34). It is a great view of the city as well as the Acropolis. It was humbling to stand where Paul once stood and spoke truth to those religious men. I hope that view continues to pop in my head when I read story.
