Our traveling classroom is about to move out to sea to visit Patmos, Crete, Ephesus, Mykonos and Santorini. We’ll post again when we return to land, but here are some photo updates from our days in Delphi and Athens.

so cool! just so cool.
Maggie, how are your feet holding up? I pray that with all the walking and climbing you have been doing that your sandals have been helpful and that God is allowing you to enjoy your trips despite sore feet. We’re praying for you and enjoying all your narrative & photos!!
We were about to priority mail audio CDs of the New Testament read in modern Greek to Jim’s uncle in Athens. Called him today and learned his CD player is broken. He is old and blind, lives alone in an apt with a helper from Albania, so gets out little. His wife, Athina, recently died. He provides for a brother who needs constant care. Thought of you passing thru Athens and wonder if you have time, could you find a simple CD player there to bring him?–will reimburse you. He speaks English well having owned a candy store in PA for many years and is a thoughtful, sweet gentleman, who may not know the LORD. Mr. Spiro Manousakis (“Speero Mahnoosahkees”), 133 Veikou, Galatsi, Athens ph. 30-210-291-0845. Country code is 30 but may need another number before 210? If you can’t do it, that’s fine–Jim will try to see him in Oct. So glad for your joy reflected in postings. Blessings, Evy

It’s an apt bldg. If you are able to get a CD player, that’s fine–if not, do not worry. Spiro would love to see you. He is a bit hard of hearing and speaks softly, but no trouble with English. He calls us Jimmy and Evelyn. If you can see him, we’ll call and let him know. If you can, about when would it be? Gratefully, Evy
Can hardly believe that you are there! Wonderful!
Some news: Cara is getting married in august and will be moving to Olympia area for the fall! She says that she will look Amber up…. Lots to do to get ready!
You and Mike look well rested and like you’re having a blast! So so happy for you both!
