Sunday June 12, 2005

This morning we got up bright and early at 6:00 am. I went down for breakfast then and DieMye had made some banana nut bread, and blubary bread. It was delishous!!! Folowing that I went back up and got ready for the day and did some minor packing.

We were to meet the bus at 7:30 but it ended up being 20 min late so we got off a little later than originaly planed. I took a nape on the bus as we went to our first stop the Corinthian cannal linking the Agean and Adreatic seas. It was neet to look at. I walked out on a brige over the canall and there was a wonderful breaze coming thru the carved rock.

Our next stop is at Corenth. As we aproched Cprenth we saw the acroplous that is about 3,000 feet above the main land. The first place we went to was to the Agora of the old city of Corenth. There were several things that we looked at. Srounding the agora there us to be a portical srounding the area with shopes for people to bye things. One of thes sopes was probly where Paul would have soled his tints with Persila and Aquila. We then went to the area where Paul would have ben put on tryal here. We sat on the stones where he would have tood as he would have faced his sentnsing. Then it was on to see the watter baths right out side the city area and we also walked along the road that Paul would have enterd in when he came to Corenth. The original stones marbal are still there and you can see where the shopes would have ben on the sides and the side walks and waterd dranage diches on the side of the road. Then it was up to the temple located up on little bite of a hill.

We then went into the musum here and saw some statues and other artifacts that were found in the city here. We also took a walk down to the theator here and saw the inscription of Galeo that is here.

The next stop was to drive up 1/2 way to the Acroplous. Then I and severl others hiked up the rest of the way. From the top there were stuning vews of the hole area. It was sed that on clear day you could see Athens Acroplous and other places. You could also see the two seas from here. We all took several photoes and then headed back down to the bus to head to lunch at a hotell.

The Hotel we had lunch at was wonderful. It had butiful marbal flors and over looked a bay of the Agean sea. There were realy nice breases comming off the watter and joust a gorgous area. We could see there swin sute off in the distance and they had a fountan runing in to the pool.

The next stop today is Epedarous. Here is a place that people would go for healing and misauges, and tharipy. Here they are working on restorying several of the buildings here. Folowing touring the buildings we went to the museum and then it was on to the Theator there. It is all still in taced and original. It was butiful. There is a stone in the flour out in the middle of the orcistra pit where you can speak and it can be herd all over the theator. You can here a person breathing, and even paper being tourn. I then went down and sang for the people there. I sang part of Scut Charvouse and Happy bearthday to one of our mimber of our group. We then all sang several songs. We ended with Lord Bless you and keep you. Then I san part of Trumpeter. I would have to say that this is the best place I have ever sung in my life. It was an unforgetible experence. It is unbelevable how you can here your voice flote up the statum and there is no eco to speak of. Amazing!!! Then back to the bus.

We then took our bus ride to our hotell for tonight in a near by town. We had supper and then had worshop service out by the pool. Folwoing worshup service I took a walk by the sea with Benet and Mikle. Mikle went for a swin in the sea and then we walked around for a while befor heading back to the hotel for the night.

Sat around by the pool for a while and then headed to bed for night. Tomaro we will be hedding out about 8:00 in mornign.
