Day 26

*Out of the hotel rooms and down in the lobby by 3:30am for an emotional good-bye to the Michigan students before loading the bus to go to the airport for the two-hour flight to Frankfurt, nine-and-a-half hour flight to Chicago and one-hour flight to Minneapolis. With layovers, delays and the drive home, it took about 21 hours of traveling. At home, my friends surprised me with a welcome home party that my friends Jen and Anna organized. It's taken awhile to get back on track time-wise from the eight-hour time difference in Greece, but it has been nice to be back home with my family and friends. This was the most amazing trip. Thanks to all of you who have supported me!

The champions of the Olympic Games became hero-like figures. They had their statues made and set on a pedestal.
