Vastas and Stemnitsa

We made the trek to Vastas today to see the miracle of huge trees growing on the roof of a tiny church.  The weather on the way there was absolutely crazy.  The fog was so thick that Bill could barely drive in the mountains, and then we went through the longest tunnel of our lives, and it was completely clear! The drive was very tricky, but Bill was absolutely amazing.  He navigated the roads like an absolute pro - I am really grateful that he drove us everywhere.
The church in Vastas was amazing, and I do believe it is a miracle that all of those trees are growing out of that church, and it has not collapsed.  Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vastas 


Stemnitsa - The trek up the mountain after Vastas was tricky!!!! But I am really glad we went!  We really enjoyed this beautiful little town, and we all enjoyed meeting Irene's friend Maria!  The bed and breakfast we stayed at had the most amazing breakfast that we had to take a picture.  The food so far in Greece has been absolutely amazing, and I am very surprised at how well the kids are eating, and that they eating everything!  I think they have grown 2 inches since being here, and they have really matured.  This traveling has really changed my babies - I am not sure I was ready for that!
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that the drive down the other side of the mountain was even more amazing.  We went through so many picturesque towns, and someday I would love to stay there if I am ever in this part of Greece again.
