ATHENS WEATHER AND APARTMENT


The weather outside is a very pleasant 68 degrees but it is cold inside the apartment. The apartment has high ceilings and marble floors, and, the heat is off. That may be why it feels colder inside than it does outside. I walked this morning before 8:00AM and I built up quite a sweat. Since I am hot natured it is strange to feel this cold. It is a lot warmer here than in the Montgomery, Alabama area. I am listening to a Montgomery local radio station on the Internet and they annouced the windchill factor is 29 degrees. The picture is of the apartment where I am living.

We shopped today for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I will be cerebrating with Ron and Diana Kretz. Ron is the director of the Athens International Bible Institute. They have also invited a Greek couple to join us. Ron warned me that it would be a late dinner. Since Europeans do not celebrate Thanksgiving, they will have a regular work day and we will not start dinner until about 8:00PM. Our shopping was successful or unsuccessful depending on how you look at it. We were able to find a turkey but most of the other fixings we did not find. I am looking forward to the fellowship.

Next week I will be psoting some pictures of the students. Hope you enjoy them.
