An Incredible Spring Break

Submitted by Julia Ewing on the 2018 spring semester program in Athens, Greece sponsored by the College of Education & Human Development…

Wow! Spring break.  Where do I begin? It was quite an adventure!  My Uncle came and spent spring break with me. We spent four days driving around Greece mainland.  We went to places including Corinth, Lake Ioinnina, Philipi, Delphi, Thessoloniki and Mt. Olympus.

Then we came back to Athens and flew to Israel for a week. We drove along the Dead Sea to Eilat where we then went on a two day tour in Jordan.  In Jordan, we went to Petra and the Wadi Rum Desert, where we stayed overnight in a Bedouin camp. Then we went back to Israel where we spent three days in Jerusalem.  There were so many situations where I just looked at my Uncle and said “Well that was an experience!” So many new cultures and situations! It was an incredible experience!
