June 14
To prove a point today that I can pick up the pace so a damn bus doesn't chase me - I went 3 miles in 43 minutes...that's a 14.3 min. per mile pace. I was huffin' & puffin' all the way - it did not feel good...but I did it.
Sara and I are off on another adventure, this time to help the refugees (mostly from war-torn Syria) as they arrive on the Island of Lesvos, Greece. I'm happy to share our experiences with you and to lessen the nearly 6,000 miles that will separate us during this trip. Also, my hope is that this blog will bring you closer to this part of the world, to provide insight into what's going on here, and to give you a glimpse into the local Greek culture.
