WOW! once again so much has happened since my last blog over a week ago. To begin, we left for Athens on Wednesday. We went to the port in the hotels handy-dandy minivan. While approaching the port our car load was joking about how awesome it would be if the HUGE boat at the harbor was our boat to the mainland. Sure enough as soon as we got there we found out it really was our boat and we got a room of 4 to sleep in over night! It was a large ferry but not a bi...

Thursday May 12 What a long and exciting day! We went for a bus excursion all around the northeastern part of Lesvos.
