One is the loneliest number

TODAY
One more night in historic, beautiful Europe then I´m taking off to the great Northwest. There have been two days on the trip that I´ve been by myself; the first was the day becca and hillary went to Disneyland Paris and at 4am this morning they left for their flight to London while I slept in and thought of ways to get the most out of northern Athens on my last day here without melting. For the past couple of days it´s been hot as ____ (fill in the blank) here in Athens and today was no exception. I headed out to a green area on the map but had to stop about 30 minutes after leaving the hotel to get a genuine greek cup-of-joe at a place called ´Jean´s Coffee´. Although I didn´t have anyone to talk to, I was accompanied by some old friends eddie, ben, sufjan, jim james, jenny lewis and the like all day. I continued to walk about 30 more minutes with no sign of said green spot on the map and i felt as if i had literally walked off the map which was scary for a bit, until i turned around and chilled at a pretty fountain. After some time I headed back to more familiar territory and accidentely ran into the National Archaeological Museum. Since i had 2 more hours to kill and was in desperate need of AC, i decided to hand over the 3euro and explored the Louvre-esque rooms filled with old marble sculptures and artifacts. My favorite was the Egyptian rooms. I headed out of there about an hour and half later and now I´m back in the cute hotel that Hillary found for us near the metro station. I´ll take off for the airport in about 30 minutes for my flight to London that doesn´t leave for another 4 hours.

LAST WEEK...
was the UPC sponsored portion of our European trip and it went spectacularly. Highlights were increasing our group size 11-fold (the more the merrier) , watching 6 of our members bungee jump into the Corinthian Canal and, of course, seeing the sites that Paul walked through and understanding the ancient culture that he was preaching to.

As our journey comes to a close, I just want to thank all of you readers and prayers. We couldn´t have done all of this without the support of our friends and patient families :) peace.
