Day 13!

We travelled to Vergina and Verea (biblically known as Berea) today. It was about an hours drive from Thessaloniki to our first stop- and I hate to say it but I don't really remember what we did there... My brain is so full of information and experiences that I tend to forget certain things. I'm sure it'll come back to me right after I post this though :) I do remember once we got to Verea we walked through an old neighborhood that apparently was the Jewish side of town until WWII when they all were kicked out. It was adorable! And really neat to see it as it used to be (they restored all of it). We ran into some Evangelical Christians while walking around over there- our guide got super excited and chatted with them for probably fifteen minutes :) we ate lunch in the same town- I had another gyro and it was so delicious! Mary (the wife of Carl, our other leader) suggested we try out the bakery across the street from the gyro place, so of course we had to ;) grandpa and I shared a piece of strawberry cake and each got our own truffle type chocolate. Oh man. They were amazing- we scarfed them down in the first ten minutes of our bus ride. Speaking of bus ride- we spent almost six hrs in the bus that day driving to Delphi. It was a little ridiculous :) but we took plenty of stops and ate plenty of ice cream bars and I took plenty of motion sickness meds, so it was fine. Actually, the views were gorgeous the whole drive. I only got stressed when we started whipping around curves on the switchback roads overlooking steep drop offs :) Our hotel in Delphi was really cute- I think our group were ther only people there again! Which makes it feel like our own private villa or something. I love when you come down for breakfast in the morning and all you see are the smiling faces if the people in our group. Definitely a nice way to wake up! I think my blog posts are all out of order- so I might try to fix it now or just go and change it in a couple days when I'm home :)
