Hotel Marmari Bay

... enter different photos from the different countries and places I have been this summer.
A mixture of many destinations!!!

My next trip is going to be in Cyprus - the Island I was born and brought up.
It will be a blog dedicated just to this island!

... tourists alike. We stayed in a seaside hotel with water views, swam and beaced it until late and explored the village to our hearts content. We have loved seeing the Med. The crystal clear waters, warm currents, and pebble beaches leave us only wishing for more. They are however not perfect as the centuries of fishing have devastaed the populations and it is rare to see fish in any numbers. Still, we will miss mixing the historical with the relaxing and spending our time on the shore.

Here it is... our last blog entry- a bitter-sweet thing really. AS sad as we are to leave Europe and our travels behind, we are excited for our OWN beds, a shower with WATER pressure, SPICY food, and of course all of you: our friends and family. We are both exhausted, and touristed out, so we took our last day to relax and enjoy the wonderful Greece sun. We slept in a little this morning , after staying up until about 2:30 am talking to our Canadian roommates. We then ...

... adventure" made me feel somewhat proud or brave. Maybe, I thought, I am doing something daring, adventurous. "How long will you be traveling?" "A month. I fly out of Rome at the end of August." "So you have to go to Italy?" She was making it sound like a feat of Hercules, traveling. I believed it would be easy. Follow others who looked lost, ask questions, be observant, vigilant. You'll meet people to show you the way. I wasn't worried. It wasn't until I'd cleared customes, and ...

Lavrio, the end of our trip. We sailed the boat into the marina since the engine was dead again, and this was one of the scariest part of the trip, because steering a boat to moor it, is no easy thing and we were close to crashing it... Rocquette is still there now, patiently waiting for next year...

... what Eleni told us. Something else that Eleni mentioned about Greek culture is that eating does not only involve filling your stomach; it involves relationships and conversation. I know that I always love to eat with people. There is something special about sharing a meal that you have prepared with someone else. I think that we have fallen away from this custom in our modern rushed times. Even in Jesus' day was fellowship and eating very important.

... go home and cook and to try new things. The more you practice, the better you will become at cooking. It is not a talent acquired over night but something you work for. I would like to learn how to cook more Greek meals and learn how to utilize all different foods. The entire meal was delicious and I am so glad that everyone enjoyed the meal. I hope they continue to have Elaine come out and teach the cooking class. It was so beneficial and a great way to get to know her better

Several people have asked me what I do every day while here at the Artemis, so I decided; I would give everyone a run down of my day. We have two different class days- odds and evens. On my odd days, I have class starting at 8:00 in the morning. I have Humanities 201, then Humanities 270, and then EDFD 203. I am done with classes at 12:00. I usually check my email then or work on homework. We have chapel at 1:00pm and then eat lunch. After lunch, I usually go out walking ...

... facing the rock coming down. I absolutely loved it so much. I even got to talk a friend through it too. About one and a half hours later we are down at the bottom again, victorious and worn out. We rewarded ourselves and ended the day with an amazing dinner of crepes...mmm good. So that was our adventure and journey. We had such a blast that we have planned to go back and do it all over again.

... in someones living room. Great looking hotel there - hugely romantic looking spot, so any of you with need for such a place I would recommend a close look at this. The sun is hot - so hot that most of the women only need half a swim suit, or that may be because there are lots of 50% off sales going on. None have made the Campbell family camera yet. Mum has eagle eyes. Never mind. A place with plenty of memories anyway. from Lockie this time. Hope you're all well.
