What’s New in Our Journey?
Traveling to the city of Athens was an exciting adventure after exploring the peaceful towns in Crete. From the acropolis to hay markets there was plenty to explore. Walking on ancient ruins everywhere we went is an experience we will never forget.
Top Three Highlights of the Week
I think the most amazing thing we did this week was visit the Allou Fun Park in Athens! Getting to ride a Ferris wheel for a better view of the city was another beautiful perspective to experience.
Another moment I loved was being able to experience the Acropolis in real life after learning all about it in Crete.
It was good to have free time to make individual dreams happen too, so that everyone could accomplish their own beautiful moments.
Challenges We’ve Faced (and Conquered!)
Navigating a city is always hard. So many streets look the same with the usual tourist shops and Greek restaurants. We learned how to navigate the metro and make sure everyone could handle navigating around. It was a challenge but it was quickly concord by our amazing and talented group.
Looking Ahead
Next week is our student travel to Ageana! We are all excited about the new adventure that awaits. We will be hopping islands, scuba diving, and venturing on bikes! I am so grateful for the opportunity to explore so many places!
