We arrived in Crete at 5 am this morning after taking a ferry overnight. Although everyone was a little tired traveling to the hotel, we got to see the most amazing sunrise. Pinks, yellows, and oranges…it was amazing. We checked into the Galaxy Villas and are all very excited for a change of scenery. Our villas are perfect! The hotel sits up on the hill so every room has a balcony overlooking the town and water. We went on a walk around our little town this morning (although nothing was open at 7 am) and checked everything out. From the streets to the food, Crete is definitely a place that comes to mind when you think the word “Greece.” We all had the day off – some went exploring, some laid by the pool, and some caught up on sleep from the ferry! We are having a lecture tonight and then a group dinner to celebrate finally being in Crete!
Garrett joined us yesterday and got everyone excited about the upcoming Leadership lectures/activities. All of the speakers we have coming, including Garrett and the whole LEAD Staff are all so inspiring to our group. I think we have a good vibe going into leadership week and I am excited to see how everyone uses these lessons on life and leadership when we return to Athens.
