Week Two Begins


Today we hiked among ruins, explored Rhodes' walled city (Old Town), and learned a lot of history through art and artifacts as explained by our tour guide, Yorgos.



(above) Rhodes is split into New Town (pictured above), Old Town (pictured below), and the touristy hotel area where we're staying.


(above) Rhodes' Old Town has quaint narrow streets, with many ivy-covered buildings.


(above) A lemon tree....which reminds me, lemonade is fizzy here--sooo not what I was expecting.
