I arrived yesterday about one in the afternoon via bus. The difference between bus travel in the US and here is amazing. Even with a child getting motion sickness behind me, a much better experience. Slight delay at the border, but wasn’t because of me so it will wait for the full report.
The Greeks don’t seem to mind if you photograph, so have a couple to share. As it happened, the prime Church on my list was just a mile from the hotel, so walked there and got to “meet” St. Gregory Palamas. At another Church got to “meet” St. Basil the Confessor; and the Saints Sophia, Faith, Hope, and Love — who have become a large part of this trip.




more soon. Lots more photos and tales to share in the days ahead.
