1. I cleverly call it "MWJ" pronounced "Muwaj". It stands for "Mornings with Jesus". It involves relaxed mornings, a cup o' joe and some reading. Staying home until late morning is an infrequent occurrence in my homeland and will be MISSED.
2. The Metro. Seriously, so efficient, so clean and nothing makes a great story like one that involves a jam-packed metro on a 100 degree day! I wish the Northwest had such transportation modes to get me from A to B....
3. My language study has included loads of practice with this particular order, "Mia horiatiki kai dio kotopoulo kalamaki, parakalo."
One word = "YUM". (yes, that is a giant slab of feta...)
3.a. Can't mention Greek food without a nod to the olive oil. Look at this jug my friend Sofia gave me! It's fresh squeezed from the olive trees in her village...so fresh it's Green in color!
The grocery store sells it in these giant tins ...
4. Sunshine. It's December... 'nuf said.
5. This lovely quilt the sweet ladies at my home church made for me when I left. It has served as a precious reminder of the supportive springboard I launch into the world from and the soft place I have to land when I return home.
6. New friends. What can I say? Thank Goodness for fun people to run the race with even times of GIANT transition and many unknowns.
