European Travels

 These past few months I have been traveling... A LOT!

It began with a training conference in the 

beautiful countryside of England.

(I didn't take that picture above- obviously!)

Next I got to travel to London for 1.5 days.

Big Ben

The London Eye

What my view of England is from the movies...

Next stop was Athens, Greece

Cheered my friends on while they ran the in the 

2,500 anniversary of the marathon. 

I felt a bit like a slacker when I saw all these really 

old people running the race and not even being tired!

Did the touristy thing and went to 

visit the Acropolis for a few hours.

Athens has 5 million people living inside its city limits!

My last morning in Thessaloniki; strolling down the beach.

Wishing you were with me!

The White Tower in Thess.

Used to be a prison called the Bloody Tower 

until a prisoner paid for his freedom by whitewashing the building.

And what I hope is the end of my journeys for some time:
Torino, Italy

The cathedral outside my window- beautiful.

However, it woke me up a lot because 

I've grown used to the 3 mosques near my house,

and their calls to prayer- not church bells- HA!

A really cool monument.

This house has character!

I love it!

The rain was awful, but it sure made beautiful pictures!

"Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit' - yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'"

James 4: 13-15
