weekend at the beach






This weekend we went to a resort at a beach in Halikidiki, which is about an hour and half away from Thessaloniki. A lot of families who live in the city vacation there for the weekends. The beaches were gorgeous again, as you can tell from the pictures. The one of us in the water is myself and 4 other girls from OU (making coach sano proud, for any of you OUFH'ers out there!). I went on a run yesterday by the beach and had an interesting experience. There are lots of stray dogs in Greece and at one point I turned around and I had a team of about 5 dogs running along with me! At first I started sprinting away from them, but I realized they were harmless.
Today we are back at work again for our client, trying to crack down on our project. We are going out into the city today to hand out surveys to stores that carry our client's products. The last picture I posted is a picture of my group that I have been working with, 3 OU students, one Bulgarian student, and one Greek student - we are a pretty solid group!
Tomorrow night we are taking a sailing trip. I'm looking forward to that, it will be a nice way to spend an evening.
I was happy to hear that the DJD Fight On Golf Tournament went well. I'm glad the weather was nice and that everyone had a great time helping out a good cause. I'm excited to see pictures and hear who the winning foursome was!

  1. Marcy,
    I am sooo glad to hear things are going so well for you. The pictures look beautiful. I have been praying for your safety everyday and I had to laugh when I read about the dogs because I ask God to have an Angel watch over you, (Could those dogs be Gods Angels I prayed for) Ha Ha, you know me and dogs. I talked to Kyle over the weekend at the golf tour. and he is really getting excited to come and see you. Have the time of your life and remember what I said about meeting the man of your dreams and eating antipasta the rest of your life!!!!! Love you much, Julie
