LAND TOUR IN GREECE

We landed in Thessilonoki and went by bus to Kavala
which is right on the Aegean Sea. Next morning we set
out for Phillipi. These are the ruins at Phillipi.

These next two are the prison cell where the apostle Paul was
imprisoned.


Not very big and very cold this time of year. I can
personally attest to this.

Papal audience



Fantastic trip. Landed in Rome Tues. afternoon March 9th and went directly to the hotel. Had dinner and a much needed rest. The following morning we had an audience with the Pope. It really was a moving experience. After the audience we visited the Vatican museum , St.Peter's and the Sistine Chapel. Words can not adequately describe what the eyes are seeing.
