The monasteries of Meteora
Yesterday it was raining cats and dogs, so I decided to drive in the direction of Lamia with the hope that the weather would improve enough to pay a visit to the monasteries of Meteora today. I must say: the trip through the vast Plain of Thessaly to the mysterious suspended rocks where Greek Orthodox monks built their nearly inaccessible places of prayer, was totally worth it. It's THE place to pray over Greece, as you can oversee a large area, and it's also blessed with astounding natural beauty. More pictures here.
Oh yeah, I was there right before got saved in the summer of 2000. Can still recall the atmosphere. Happy for you, eager to hear more!!! We had a blast, joked about doing the whole of Africa in 4 days next time :) Macedonia had a totally diff spiritual environ than Greece, it's like leaving a cemetery and entering the green house, tell you more later. greetings to your whole family!!!
