Greece!

I arrived in greece yesterday, after another long 24 hours of travellin. I left lviv by plane yesterday with a company called wizz air. The flight to milano (bergamo cost about 75$ cad. Then a 12 hour layover ("sleeping" in the airport), then another flight to thessaloniki. Then i had to figure out the local sunday bus schedule (not too often), then to the bus station to ouronoupolis (where i am currently. This town is only about 25km to the border of mount athos! I went to my first ever service in the greek orthodox church yesterday evening (forgiveness vespers). This was the service to begin lent. It eas a very beautiful samall town church (iconography was very beautiful) and the prayers were very beautiful. By the way, cheesfare sunday (the sunday right before lent starts, seems to be quite the celebration here. In the towns i was driving through, there were tents set up with a carnival going on, kids dressed up. Looked pretty interesting. My only fear now is the rain. Yesterday evening it was beautiful (greece is gorgeous- espeially on the sea), but today all day, rain. Oh well. I leave for athos thursday morning, rain or sunahine. Praise the Lord.
