Greece

The second week of our trip, we traveled by bus to Greece - the Halkidiki peninsula. It was so beautiful there. We also took a bus trip to nearby Thessaloniki (not a misspelling) as the Greeks call it. Our week in Bulgaria had been a preparation for being in Greece as we studied Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. It was very insightful and inspiring. Modern day Thessaloniki is very densely populated with many tall apartment buildings in a small geographical area....talk about traffic! We are now more appreciative of Malawian traffic and see it is not really that bad.





We also saw a few beautiful sunsets on the Aegean Sea. The weather was nice and cool. It was considered the off-season so there weren't any water activities, but that was fine, because we were enjoying the coolness. It is very warm in Malawi right now.
