September 3, 2005 5:33 am [Live] from GreeceWell I’m back in Greece in thesonaliki in fact. yesterday we met up with the whole group again. and shared stories from our times in various plaes running the festivals.
then today we all got on a coach and headed off to philipi to see the remains of the ancian greek city where Paul visitied we spent about 3 hours wandering around the ruins with a guide called kostas briging the city to life. Then we headed a few mins up the road to where lydia was baptised. Its pretty cool seeing places that appear in the bible and being able to imagine what it would have been like in biblical times.
tonight we are back in thesonlanike before we all travel 10 hours in a bus tomorrow to Corinth and then Athens for our departure on sunday.
Going well, feeling healthy.

The other night I went to a church that is built on the tomb of the Apostle Thomas. It is a cool feeling being close to things that are biblical. It was almost transcending.
