These are some of the rock formations by Kastraki, the little village at the base of Meteora. This was taken from the balcony of our hotel across the road. We were treated to a show by three wild mountain sheep. They walked all over the side of the rock about 2/3 of the way up. They were amazingly sure-footed. I was tempted to check the bushes at the bottom of the hill to see how many mountain goat skeletons were there!

Thought you would like to see the Johnsen family, Britton, Lindsey, Houston and Scarlet. This was at the arena last Saturday after we watched Britton play. The crowd was small because the fans were banned from the game for their bad behavior at the previous game.

Elder and Sister Smith were our last houseguests. They are the office couple for the mission in Athens and came up to speak at our Sacrament meeting. Before they left to go back on Monday morning, we took a walk with them along the seafront. This is the famous White Tower, built about 500 years ago. It has been used for a guard tower, most infamously for a prison where those who rebelled against Turkish rule were put to death, and now is a museum. We haven't been inside yet.

Elder and Sister Smith, who have served three previous missions. The sea is to the right as you look at the picture. Notice the interesting umbrella sculpture behind us.
