Our team took a day trip to Greece yesterday! It was amazing! It is about a 3 1/2 hour trip to Thessaloníki. It is a large Americanized city. We had Starbucks in the afternoon and T.G.I. Friday's for supper. For lunch we had authentic gyros at a local restaurant. The picture in the left hand corner is of the three pork racks and the one chicken rack (you can't see the chicken rack). When you order your gyro, you pick your sauce of choice and then they carve off the meat you choose, and then they put it all on a homemade pita. If you order fries they add it to the top of the pita.
In the right hand corner is a picture of our team. I have instructions to tell you who is who. From left to right is Jessica, Katie, Me, and Monica. Jessica and Monica are from Memphis and Katie is from Hartselle, AL. We are in front of the Aegean Sea! It was very clear, a little like the Pascagoula Beach! Haha!
Back to the real reason we are here. :) We had the last class of our first session Friday night. We had an American party, with American food (chocolate chip cookies and chips) and American music. We were supposed to go out Friday night but our two students with cars could not go. We had to make a rain check with them. We start our next session Monday night. We are holding the next two sessions at a school closer to us.
I am going back and adding pictures to some of my old blogs. Hopefully this week my blogs will be a little more consistent, it all just depends on internet access. I want to thank Bro. Teddy for making sure my Momma had a good Birthday and singing her a little Birthday song that he had written just for her. Haha! Also...Happy Father's Day!
Thanks for interceding on our behalf!
