israel and greece!!!!!!!!!!!!

so guys,
i'm back from israel!!!!! safely! i didn't get bombed or anything! we went to some really cool places though! and i had a great time........even though i missed everyone back home. i saw the mediterranian sea, the sea of galilee, jerusalem(supposedly we saw the exact spot where jesus was buried...???), the dead sea, masada, bethlehem(we supposedly saw the exact spot where jesus was born...???), caeserea, tiberias, nazereth, cana, caesarea philippi, the jordan river,jericho, qumran, and that's just in israel!!! israel was all kind of surreal though. it was like "am i really here? like walking where jesus walked?" ya know? neways, after we went to israel we started our journey to greece. i woke up for the first time in my life at 12:30 am. that was our wake up call. crazy. our plane left at 6:00 am. we got into greece at about 8:30 or so, and started touring when we got there. it was quite funny, because we were all falling asleep. the tour guide lady was like "now over here to you left side is a greek theater from 2,000 years ago.....does anyone want to get out and take pictures?" the bus was pretty much silent except for a few grunts. then like an hour later we were driving through athens on the way to our hotel and the tour guide lady was saying all this stuff and then she was like "and over there's a starbucks." the whole bus was cheering! it was great. our tour guide lady in greece sounded like the guy on my big fat greek wedding. excatly. that night we walked around athens for a while, found the hard rock cafe in athens, smelled coffee beans while they were roasting, shopped.....a lot.....and found a place for dinner the next night. i've got tons more stories, so if you want to hear them we'll have to get together sometime. i'll try and post some pictures, but i have to fighure out how to first, sooooo. see y'all people later!
