Hi family and friends,
We had an incredible day in Meteora today. The sheer, rock cliffs were beautiful against the blue sky with the monasteries perched on top. We went to 2 monasteries Rossanou and St. Stephen. We expected austere buildings but found instead the most ornate small churches in the monasteries. The were filled, every inch, with iconic paintings and gold leaf and candelabra it was really wuite a feast for the eyes. The wind at the top was gale force making it extrememly cold and difficult to even stand but we braved it for a few picturesque pictures which we'll try to upload soon.
Tonight we are back in Athens. We took the new subway system into the restaurant and nightclub area where tons of people were gathered celebrating.....(computer glitch)
