Well, the day seemed to start farely well. We were up at 4:30am and at the airport at 6am for our 7:30am flight from Milan to Athens. Well at about 7am the delays started. I think our flight was delayed about 10 times before our flight finally left at 1:30pm. We got to Athens at about 6pm but our day wasn't over yet. We still had a 6hr train ride to Thessaloniki. We had a 5 star hotel booked in Thessaloniki which was the best deal of our trip and the nicest place we were going to be staying at. We weren't sure if a train would even get us there that night or if we would just lose our reservation. Well, we finally made it to Thessaloniki at 1:30am. Because we arrived so late the hotel was already booked so they upgraded us to the Delux suite. It was sooooo nice. I think it was twice as big as our old house! It had everything from fingernail files to bath robes. It was great although we were so tired we just about passed out so we didn't get to enjoy all the amenities as much as we would have liked. It was fun none the less.
Today we visited Philipi. It was a 2 hour train ride followed by a 30min bus ride to get there. It was really neat. Jason had actually told me it wasn't really that impressive considering all that we had seen in Rome but I was almost more impressed then in Rome. There were hardly any tourists and it was just so neat to be at the location where Paul founded the first church in Europe. We had a really good day over all but are pretty tired now considering that its almost midnight and we are still tired from yesterdays travels.
