What an unbelievable experience. Greece has over exceeded our expectations from its legendary history, culture, beautiful landscapes and exhilarating activities we all had the time of our lives! Memories have been imprinted and Greece/Canada relationships and connections have been born.

The Woodgate family and the inspiring Yanni, the greek triathlon coach  were amazing hosts and welcomed us with open arms as they shared their amazing laid back town of Kyparissia. Our students were wide eyed everyday as they were sharer the rich history of Olympia, Messini, Tholos Tombs, Pylos Bay, and the Acropolis and entertained physically walking down miles of beach searching for nesting sea turtles, exploring River Neda, swimming in the Olympic Noky Pool, hiking up to old town Kyparissia, participating in the NOKY Triathlon, scaling the top war torn ancient walls of Naverino castle, playing in the waves of the Ionian sea, Dancing and playing ice-breaker games with the Greek community, and navigating through the murky waters of the gorge stalagmites.

Our students exceeded our expectations as they were faced with uncomfortable weather and challenges but resulted in beaming pride that radiated from their smiling faces. I cannot believe how fast the trip flew by but wrapped up perfectly with our trip to Athens where we learned and visited the Acropolis and later were spoiled by the Vincent family staying the night at the lavish Hilton Hotel.

Below are my top favorite pictures of the trip!

Am workout - Skimble time!
