After Florence was a couple weeks of school, and THEN Rachel and Hannah came to visit. It. was. incredible! I was so excited, and STILL can't exactly believe, that we were all in Europe together!!
First, we met in Athens, and for most part of our time there, we were all infected with this lazy attitude. Until of course we ate! But the best part about Athens was going to the rock where St. Paul preached and really having it sink in that he was there!! He writes so much of the new testament, and realizing that he was alive and spreading the gospel right there was an awesome thought.
From Athens we took a magnificent night-ferry [it was like a cruise ship!] to Crete, which was the highlight of EVERYTHING europe for me. We had planned on hiking the Samaria Gorge, but oil strikes and lack of transportation prevented us from ever gettting there. But maannnn our hotel was amazing. And it was only 15 euro /night!! Ok, we have so many good pictures from here that I have limited posting-issues.
a shot taken from our door the morning we got there =) =D
and then the same view in the evening. We almost missed this sunset because they happen so quickly!
the pool and hannah! i LOOVE this kind of pool. [i think they're called infiniti pools?] And even though the water was preetty cold, I had a BLAST! Ohh...memories of spending whole summers at Willoughby's Pulic Pool.
our second day, we spent in Charaklion and ventured out into the sea urchin-filled waters at the old harbor. Our goal was that island in the background, and on our way back [we got 3/4 of the way there] i had this panic attack and couldn't get myself to jump from one fuzzy land mass to the next in fear of sharp shells that could pierce my feet, so rachel is coming back to my rescue!
like sound of music. =)
