After a harrowing bus ride and a great conference with our company we took a few days for vacation in Athens. We were fortunate to share a great space with our friends W and M and their kids, as well as spend time with our friends R and K. As a history buff I was really excited to be in Athens and the great historical sights but the best thing was seeing Mars Hill, where Paul preached in Acts 17. Kyleigh and I were able to make a quick trip to Corinth and see some amazing sights and walk the streets that Paul had walked. To quote Miki: "Athens is nice, mostly old rocks, when are we going to the beach!" So we spent one day at a great beach with all our friends and their kids. It was sandcastle building time. My most favorite thing of all was the great Gyros, the food was amazing and I will have to suffer through Gyros here in Belgrade that are not nearly as good. It was a great vacation, the trip home was much smoother and alot less messy (although we did take a prop plane home, not the best way to fly but still better then an 18 hour drive).

Man, this was a great story and you're a great story teller. My favorite part is the quote above from Miki - so classic. Once when I was living in Manhattan, one of my best friends and I decided to walk the length of the island. After about two hours of my rattling off the history of the place, I apologized for forgetting the history of the neighborhood we were passing. "Oh, no problem," he replied. "History bores me anyway." Wish he'd mentioned that earlier!
