Plan C

Well, it look like it's finally settle.  My Middle East Fellowship was cancelled once again due to Covid-19 and I wasn't able to secure a hiking permit to hike the John Muir trail as a plan B.  So, it's off to plan C.  I was able to find spot with Global Explorations for Educators going to Greece.  I'm excited about it and it will be a lot of fun going to Athens and walking the same street of people like Plato and Socrates. It will also be a chance to reconsider all the Greek Mythology that I found so interesting when I was in middle school.  So, stay tuned as I to my last minute preparations for this summer's Great Adventure in Greece.
