Greetings from Greece!


Today we were separated into two separate groups for the day’s activities...while one group was leisurely enjoying a 3-Island Day Cruise, Allie, Ashley, Bailey, Erin B., Erin T., Alexa, Jillian, Alex, DeAnna, Margot, McKenzi, Halleigh, Ansley, Ellie, Maria, Channing, Morgan, Annie, Amerika, Sarah Grace, Brian and Beth Ann, were sweating bullets thinking about their day’s itinerary. With that, we will now provide you with our Top 10 List of the Day for our group!

Top 10 List of the Day:

1. Crete Men’s Soccer Team arrived at the hotel for the day…as we were leaving
2. Stopped at the Corinth Canal on the way to Corinth to see our Bungy Jumping
site (ah!)
3. We took a group jumping picture in front of the Temple of Apollo
4. Brian held a leadership lecture in the middle of ancient Corinth, where Paul
preached to the Corinthians in B.C.
5. Right before we arrived to bungy, we stopped and made our own Bucket
Lists for the next 5 weeks
6. We convinced Amerika and Ellie to take the leap of faith, which left our total
group participation at 100%!! (With the exception of Channing, who was
understandably restricted by a previous knee injury )
7. Allie had a shaky start, but soldiered on and provided us with a glimpse into
her future as a horror-movie-shrieking voiceover…winning her BA’s BA of
the day!
8. Jillian created, with the help of her fellow jumpers, her movie to get her
noticed by Bieber (we’ll keep you posted on her progress…fingers crossed)
9. After we all bungeed, we got on a boat and were able to ride through the
Corinth Canal and see just how far our jump was—so impressive!
10. Our final destination before heading back home to Glyfada was a little
town called Loutraki, where once again we all learned a lesson of cultural
differences (cough, cough Bailey and Channing playing on the children’s
merry-go-round)

So once again, Congratulations to everyone in the Corinth/Bungy group for surviving the day!! We had a blast…Hope all of our loved ones back home can rest easily now knowing that their precious daughters are all safe and sound and are officially daredevils. For the other group’s parents… you’ll have to wait until tomorrow :)

Love, Alexa and Jillian
