Since our blog focuses on spiritual reflection, I thought it would be nice to share her experiences as she is able to share them with me and Facebook! ;)
Earlier today, the visited Corinth - saw historical ruins, participated in Mass, and had lunch by the Corinth canal where a bridge is lowered to let boats pass.
This evening, they had drinks at the roof lounge at their hotel with a view of the Areopagus.
As I drove them to the airport, both my mom and step-dad admitted that they were not excited like they have been in the past and as they expected to be. I assured them that it was most likely the dread of the long plane ride making them feel less than enthusiastic and that once they arrived and got some rest, they would be excited.
Sure enough, once they immersed themselves in the tours and culture, my mom found herself lost in the wonder of the history of Greece. She found herself thinking of Greek mythology and all the wonders she learned in school and now is fortunate to see and appreciate for herself.
She says authentic Greek food is great as well!
Now, my mom prays, "Lord, thank you for making this pilgrimage possible."
