We arrived today in Athens and are now closing out our first day!
Our flight landed around 11AM. Once we got through passport control, we got all of our luggage and then met Eleni, our guide while we are in Greece. We got on the bus and Eleni gave us a wonderful tour of Athens with a pit-stop at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were hosted in 1896.
Once we got settled into our hotel rooms, we then took the opportunity to explore in smaller groups prior to dinner. We had a beautiful and delicious group dinner just downhill from the Acropolis.
We wrapped up the evening with a gathering on our hotel terrace where we shared our hopes and prayed for the journey ahead. It was full of words of gratitude from a group that has waited for this trip for a couple years now. We are thankful to be following in these footsteps and looking forward to being surprised by the ways God will meet and transform us here!
