God allowed me the privilege of walking down some ancient paths this summer... Here I am in Corinth, right after a company conference in Greece.
Athens was outstanding... i could roam around here for weeks, and pick up REAL Greek (I studied 2 years of koine Greek to read the New Testament, in my Masters)... if the sun and heat were not so unbearable...
Back to Corinth... yes i took this photo! it looks like a postcard, huh?
creativity in useful objects -- a rain spout
wall murals... less expensive apparently than a mosaic
This "draw bridge" is ... well, NOT one... instead, it lets the boat pass by lowering the bridge versus raising it!
Athens... an urban sprawl... white- cream colored buildlings... people experiencing life on their terraces... traffic... exciting.
Mars Hill... Paul the Apostle's famous encounter with philosophers Athens' city- shapers... love that speech!
very special friends, Steven and Susan, also on the tour-- they welcomed me to their hearts and city, my first year in Germany... teaching me culture & setting up my apartment and language school!
