Days 1 & 2 – Sunday-Monday, October 2-3: Depart U.S.A. / Arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece
Our departure day finally came today! God brought together a total of 17 people from all over the country for our “Footsteps of Paul” tour. Days 1 and 2 were primarily travel days as the majority of us flew through Frankfurt (and Munich) to Thessaloniki. Located in northern Greece, this is a large city of 1.3 million people.
When we arrived in Thessaloniki around 5:30 p.m., we gathered our luggage, exchanged some dollars for Euros (about 1 for 1 now), and met Costos (our Greek driver) and Aliki (our Greek guide). Once loaded on the bus, we drove through the heart of the city en route to our hotel. We are here for two nights. We will visit different parts of the city once we begin in earnest our trip tomorrow.
“Our departure day finally came. All 17 of us God has brought together are excited for the trip that is about of unfold. We will be walking literally in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul!”
We are all excited to be here in this biblical country of Greece as we follow the mission trips of Paul and understand His ministry in the context of the land and ancient culture.
Day 3 – Tuesday, October 4: Thessaloniki, Amphipolis, Philippi, Kavala
