We took a short ferry from Aegina to Agistri. We were able to get a small “apartment” for $25 per night; nothing fancy but comfortable and clean. This is a cute island just off the coast of Athens. It’s quiet with nice beaches and good restaurants. I’m guessing that this island might be a getaway for Athenians. It has only $1000+ year round residents. It would be interesting what it would look like in winter season.
Tomorrow we return to Athens, spend a night near the airport, get our Rapid Test for flying to the USA on Sunday and spend one more night at the Cosmo Center before heading home on Monday. My computer will be waiting for me at the Cosmo Center. I will welcome her like a long lost friend but in reality, it was probably a good break for me. My iPad seems to have done everything I needed.
It’s been a WONDER-filled trip. We experienced the peace of the islands, visited ancient biblical ruins to get a better perspective of the early church, got a vision for what God is doing in Greece today, got a tan, and ate endless amounts of Greek Salads, Gyros, goat in a bag (very good), lots of fish and other unexplainable foods and walked endless miles up and down the rolling hills and mountains of Greece along with ice cream made with Nexos milk (whatever that is - but they say it’s the best) and Gelato.
But a month is a long time to live out of a suitcase and it will be good to be home again. We still have a few adventures ahead of us as we meet all the kids in Maine (first time all together in 10 years) and a wedding in California before settling into our fall and winter routine.
Who knows what the next year will bring with our totalitarian government in the US but we do know that God is in control and oversees it all. We pray for all our children and grandchildren to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and stay true to the Gospel of Christ as presented in the scriptures.
Now if we only get back home without testing positive for COVID we will be happy travelers!

Wow what a trip you have had and I thank you so much for letting me stroll along with you along the way. What a blessing. The food looked wonderful, especially the ice cream of course. Oh to get to be where Paul was so long ago. I was also amazed how some of the buildings were built right into the rock mountains. Thanks again for sharing, I loved every minute! Will be happy to see your home! May God Bless and keep you both safe!
