We awok in our wonderful hotel room today after having another wonderful nights rest and all refreshed for another day of exploring and new experences. After packing up and getting refreshed in the nice hot shower in our bathroom lined with wight marbal I headed down stairs to the dining hall for breakfast. This morning there had ben another large tourering group going throu the line so it had taken the ones who had arived befor me to get throu the line. I had some freash bread, crisonts, frise, ham and ornge juce.

Folowing breakfast we all loaded up on the bus to head in to Thesolnikie to see more sites and learn more about the area. We started at the museum where we saw joulery found in the city’s graves and also many diadims or cround reaths mayed out of goald lefts. There was also some potery and oher food eating utincles like plates and goblets. After finishing with the museum we all wated out side in the loby. A group of our gys all had the same blou socker shert on so many of us took a photo of them. Also took photoes of people riding the lift and other misolanous things.

Next it was of in the bus to see some of the old city walls and the area by the acropolus. Once we reached the high point in the city to the East we arived at the gate that the Ignation way came into that went to Philipy. This would have bean the gate that Paul would have enterd in when he travled to Thesolnica from Philipy. When we poled up here the bus drove next to some wet paint on the pavment where they were painting lines and they was yelling at the busdariver for driving so close to their nely painted lines on the road.

After seeing this city gate we went and saw a view of the hole city and then headed down to the bisilica and saw some of the graves and many of the icons in side. We sat in the seats adn learned about the greek orthdox church. Then we went down into the basment where the ruans of an old roman bather were. This was realy well prserved and you could still see some of the plaster on the brick walls.

Finaly we went down to the agora where we saw the remaining pillers that were found when the city decided to builed a new building in this area. They found the old store rooms that were under the old stone flores of the agora and also found the treshury, and what was later turned into a theator. We had a reading from the bible and time for songs here in the theator for a while befor haveing free time on our own for lunch.

Benet and I went to Pizza Hut down by the sea and ended up being first ones from our group to arive. Later some more of us came to eat there. We then took a walk by the see down the board walck and the walked throu by some of the stores. Benet and I then grabed some ice cream befor heading back to the bus pick up place. We bought some watter and then headed acrosed the street to the park where I ran at about 100 pigons and wached them all fly.

Then it was back on the bus to head to the tran station to ride back home. We went by Mt. Olipous and saw it out the windown. The train has also went thru several tunals throu the mountons. I worked on typing this for now and then I am heading to the dining car to get something to drink and to do some studing for my Humanities 270 test that I have on Friday when we get back.

I ended up staying back in the dining car for the majority of the rest of the trip with Benet. He wored on his novel he is wrighting and I did some studing of the time line. It was a very butiful ride back to Athens. I loved getting to see the planes with the croptes and the stark contrased with the large mountans with some of them still having little bites of snow on top. Our train meanderd throu the mountans going throu tunals and along mountain passes throu the contry side all the way home.

Once we got close to ariving we both packed up our tings and headed back to the car 4 where our seets were. Once we arived in Athans we all hoped off the train and went out to meet our bus to take us back to Port Araftie. Once back at home I opend up the lab and started all the computers back up. Folowing getting my things all put away a group of us went acrosed the street to a gyro shop to get some supper. This was a new place that I have not ben to… but the food was very good. After sitting and tocking for a while we all walked back to campous. I then ended up going back out with Mickle for him to get something to eat. We had a good discution and then did some more tocking once we arived back at we did some tocking down stairs befor going back up stairs to go to bead.
