Today's destination was the historical town site of Phillipi, the location of one of the early Christian churches. Being in such old, historically significant places always gives me this tingly feeling of awe and amazement, deep gratitude for the opportunity to visit such a place (especially because the book of Phillipians in the Bible is one of my favorites) and surprise that after so many years, parts of these ancient buildings are still standing. If only these stones could talk! Imagine the stories they could tell.
That night the priest in the neighbouring town Krinides gave us permission to camp in the olive grove next to his church. James had camped there before so this was extra special.
Next day we passed through Kavala, a town right on the Mediterranean. An old Roman aquaduct made for an impressive photo subject.
Further down the road I got the opportunity to save a baby turtle from certain death as it was about to march straight onto the busy highway we were on. It was so cute and round.
