I mentioned in an earlier blog post that we were so privileged to be able to go to a Cru conference for most of the international interns in Nerja, Spain. After the week-long conference, we had a week of vacation time to take.
We were needing a break from our at-times-stressful-third-world, so we took some time to relax after our conference in 2 countries in Europe. It was nice to be able to drink Starbucks, eat something other than rice, drink fountain drinks, drink water straight out of the tap, have clean feet for a week, sleep in beds that weren’t on the floor, feel cold, and EAT MCDONALDS.
What I have failed to mention was that I bought new shoes in Senegal for our vacation. Apparently packing closed toed shoes wasn’t high on my priority list in October… Anyways, I got these shoes for $10 at an African market. And here’s all the places they took me.
So much swag, Dakar couldn’t handle it.
Safely arriving in Nerja, Spain.
Leaving Nerja at like 4 a.m. Yup. I wanted to go back to bed.
arriving in Athens, Greece!
At the Parthenon in Athens
This was by far my favorite spot. It was Mars Hill in Athens where Paul threw down the mike in Acts 17:16-33
Next stop: Berlin, Germany. And of course not without eating McDonald’s breakfast first… so. delicious.
We got a free tour of the Bonhoeffer house in a suburb of Berlin. Really interesting!
Walking into a concentration camp. One of the most, if not the most, disturbing things I’ve ever seen.
walking around in Corinth. I’m pretty sure we weren’t actually supposed to be IN the ruins, but you know..
sleeping in the Athens Airport cause our flight was at 4 a.m.
Love this post.
And may I say, before STINT, you would have never given these shoes a second look.
