This morning I got up after a wonderful nights sleep at our hotell and then went down to breakfast after getting ready. Then we took a bus to Pella where we went to a museum and saw many artifacts found in the old city of Pella. We saw the foundations of the old city and hered about there avanced suor and watter system that wen to every home.
Then it was off to Berea where. Here we went to an restored centigaug that was built on the foundations of the original sinaguag. Here they found scroles and other artfacts that have to do with Paul’s visit to this area. Dew to is location out side the old city walls and the rive that is next store it is almost certon that this is the loacation of the sinaguag that Paul would have preached at. Visitores are not allowed in but we got speshal permition from city and were let in. The building did not look as I had amagioned a cinigaug looking. It was a great time of reflection about the place and asorbing the scripturs that were read about Pauls visot to this area.
Then we went for lunch and then off to Philop II toum and musum. This was realy neet to look at and see all the treashurs that were in his tum. The dyadim and leaf crown was amazing. The deatail and the repersentation was realy some thing to see. We wached a movey about the site and were able to see the out side of the toum it has never ben opend senc it was seald.

The hole complex is under neeath a roof and and coverd back up with dirt so that you could see it as it was before they found it. Was need to see how was restord.
Tonight after supper in the dining hall at the Hotell we went into town of Thesolnica down by the Agean see. Here we went shoping down town off the squair areaea. We saw a demonstration with a protest and the streets were lined with poleace and as they walced down the street protesting and wanting greece to give them some right to…… …… Then we walked down another way and saw an opening of a store where there was had band on the roof and offered free coack cola and sandwiches. After this we also go some ice cream and waled and sat by the see. Then we all croweded back in our shutal bus and went back to the hotell for the night.
