Thank all of you who prayed for our team during our work at the Moria refugee camp and for those who took the time to read my posts and hear what’s going on in Greece! The prayers got us through the hot days and the heartbreaking circumstances around us. We are all changed.
We did have a few days to see sites and relax, so here are some photos of our adventures!
First of all, the little town of Panagouida (population = 1000) where we stayed. The church building is the center of town, and our inn was right next to the church. Eating out by the water every night was a special treat. The food, the service, and the ambiance were all excellent. We did have some gypsy beggars most nights. We thought at first they were refugees, but they were not.
Since we worked several evening shifts, we also had got to spend a few days in Mytilini. This is the largest city at a whopping population of 30K.
Between Mytilini and Panagouida is an ancient Roman Aqueduct. We went there one day after the end of our shift. It's some impressive architecture in such an out-of-the-way spot.
We decided to make do our version of the Beatle's cover.
Our last day in Lesvos, we visited Mt. Olympus (not THE Mt. Olympus) and the cute little town of Agiassos at its base. Our group photo up there ended up looking like another album cover.
