Above PASHA Barthell (our leader) is giving a impromptu guest lecture at Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest. He observed Mason bees using holes in the modern sculpture piece to place their nests. All the people in the museum came pouring out of the building to hear his talk. There were about 6 people. Thanks to Dr. Barthell
Today was a great day. We sent to Sigri on the Southeast coast of Lesvos. The highlights included: the Limonos Monestary near Kalloni, the mountianou.s curvasious car ride by villages on the sides of mountains. We stopped about 10 km outside of Sigri to visit the Petrified Forrest, a world culture site. It proved to be awesome. You can see stumps with their roots going into the ground. Some of these trees were 20 million years old. We could have stayed longer than te 40 minutes, there about 2 km of paths. We just made it before closing at the Petrified Forrest Museum in Sigri. The museum was beautifully kept and designed well, it was mostly about fossils and had detailed descriptions of the geography of the area. John found a great example of Mason bees nesating just outside the entrance door for the museum. Some of the students went to down to the beach. Some of the others meandered down to the beach taking pictures will descending. We swam, I played with Aaron Freesbie football with a bunch of kids and a guy from Sweden and another from the Ukraine. The day ended with a seaside dinner, Tanks to Dr. H.

The grounds of the large Monestary has about 200 "small" churches. These Churches are personal Churches donated by people and families. The Monks want to have 365 one day.
