Chalikida - Skala Oropou

Photo 1: View of the city Chalkida from the suspension bridge. It was an interesting walk across this bridge.

At noon time I stopped at a small store to get some mineral water. The man at the counter was a muslim from Pakistan. We started talking. I shared with him about the blessing that God gave Abraham, that through him the Messiah would come, and through the Messiah all nations would be blessed. I explained that the Koran says Jesus is the Messiah, more than just a prophet. Unfortunately other customers came so that we could not continue the conversation.

Photo 4: I was fascinated by the deep blue color of the sea, also by the villages and towns spotting the land tongue across the way that I could see. I wondered how many people there might live in a faith connection to God... and prayed.
