Day 1 in Greece: Corinth

After having a few glitches in our travel plan and arriving a day late to Greece, we made it! We ended up having to stay overnight in at an airport hotel in Rome without our luggage and catching a flight this morning (Wednesday). We were without our luggage overnight and the youth did great! No complaining! We got to Greece around 11:30, and jumped straight on a bus to go to Corinth. At Corinth we saw lots of ruins...they were in pretty bad shape. We saw the acropolis and tons of other amazing things. Every large town in Greece had similar features including a gymnasium, stadium, music hall, shops, and temples. What was fascinating was how all of the ruins were from different eras--a lot of the Greek ruins were 5 century while right beside them were Christian ruins.

The acropolis is the big stone mountain in the background.

An amazing dinner tonight in Athens!

It's been a great day and look forward to another tomorrow!
