Day 15: Patmos to Rhodes

We left Patmos at 8:45 p.m. last night for Rhodes. Alice is really into this "cruise thing" and talked me into going to "karaoke night" last night. I lost my head for a few minutes and sang "Hey, Jude." Today, in Rhodes, we toured the old fortress in Rodos, then visited the acropolis at Lindos. Apparently, the acropolis in Athens isn't the only one -- each town in ancient times had its own acropolis for both religious and defensive purposes and each was strategically located at the top of a hill. Apparently, the Apostle Paul preached in Lindos, too. We also visited a family that produced ceramics -- there are only 8 of those families left in Rhodes.
