ROAD TRIP!!!!!!

Road trip!!!!!!!

We went on a Road trip.  First, we went to Delphi. On the road, we saw lots of cotton fields. Turns out that Greece produces a lot of cotton! Who knew?  We stopped and picked up some cotton. When we got to Dephi, we had a super delicious lunch and explored the town a bit.  We took a picture or two because the view was amazing.

Next, we went to Meteora, a place with so many monasteries on cliffs. There used to be 24 of them but now there are only 6.   Mom wanted to go to them all but we only went to half of them. 

We saw some cool stuff the first monastery. It was cool. It had so much to look at and had a cool museum. We learned a lot about it.  They were built in the 13th century by monks to avoid being killed by people who didn't believe in what they did.  Do you know how they got up to the monasteries? They had to climb up these rope ladders or go up in a big net. Crazy! We also learned about what a typical day in the life of a monk is like. 

life of a monk!

The second monastery was bigger, very fancy and another museum. The last monastery was small and the stairs were built right into the cliff.

Then, dad made an announcement that we were going to an 5 star hotel for Sammy's 12th birthday!!!!! Woo hoo!!!

We went to the 5 star hotel and it was so awesome!!! There was a ping pong table, a sports centre, 5 pools and a mini arcade and that was just to name a few! There were mini events like an white party where you wore white and danced. It was sooooooo much fun and cool! We also met two kids named, Ben and Ed. Ed was 11 years old (almost 12) and Ben was 9 years old. We had so much fun with them.

Finally, we drove home to Athens…
