Transportation Strike

 We had 3 appointments in downtown Greece for tomorrow when we found out that there is a transportation strike and most things will be shut down.  It will be interesting.  Today was a great adventure in downtown.  We couldn't find the NGO( Non government organization) we had an appointment with.  They are helping with mental health of the refugees and work in Athens and on the island of Lesvos where there are refugee camps.  We had to call and be rescued.  

Yesterday was the beginning of transfer day and since the Athen Elders have quarantine from covid, we got a missionary coming from Cyprus to Albania.  He spent the night on our couch since our other room is the office.  He was awesome.  We learned a lot about Albania from him and about the mission.  These kids are amazing and so smart.  He was up early this morning doing his exercises on the tile floor.  So obedient.  

Kim was very happy to have a successful parallel parking experience.  It was very tight and he decided after he was all tucked in that the car behind him would have a hard time getting out and he pulled out and found another place to park.  The only reason he could find any place to park at all was because it was near midnight. 

Parking at the Metro

I wasn't going to make any more entries but we had only one appointment in downtown today and so we did a little sightseeing which we haven't had time for before.  We are into our third week being in Greece and it just feels easier.  Hurray.

No explanation.  That will follow when I learn what we saw.  😉 It was just cool.
