Hello everyone!
Yesterday was our first full day in Greece. It was a crazy day!! We had just landed the night before, so jet lag was in full swing. However, the way to get on track in the new time zone is to get out in the sun and eat 3 meals at the normal time, so it was actually helpful to have a busy day. Today the jet lag is much better.
We started by going to the Corinth canal. It's a pretty amazing canal that was built, and there is a bridge that you stand on to look down on it. It was fun to watch everyone see it for the first time.

Then we went from there to Old Corinth, which is one of my favorite places we visit. It's so amazing to walk in the same places that Paul walked. And to know that some of these ruins have been around for thousands of years. Beautiful!
We had lunch overlooking Old Corinth, which was amazing and then we stopped by Cenchrea, which is the dock where Paul took the Nazarene vow and left Greece. There are still some of the old ruins there.
Finally we went to Epidaurus, which is an ancient Greek theater that has perfect acoustics. It's one of my favorite places! It's amazing to me that with all of the technology we have now, there are ruins that were buried under an earthquake, uncovered and still have perfect acoustics!
A great first day! I am putting more pictures on Facebook than I put here, so feel free to look there if you want to see more. Have a great day!
