Sorry that it has been such a long time since I have blogged, but I have some very exciting news for you....MY FATHER IS ALIVE!! But before I get into this, let me back up a little bit. We arrived on the island of Sparta to find King Menelaos and Queen Helen celebrating the marriage of both their son and daughter. They immediatly welcomed us with open arms and invited us to our celebratory dinner, a kind gesture in which we accepted. While we feasted, the king and queen, to my delight, shared their own personal stories about my father in addition to Menelaos' stroy of his problamatic return to Troy. The famous warrior was detained by the Gods and tied down in Egypt, and his only hope of ever returning was to rescue the Old Man of the Sea, Proteus. Upon Proteus' rescue, the Old Man informed Menelaos that Odysseus was alive and imprisoned by the goddess Calypso on her island!! Although I was thrilled to hear this news from the hospitable king, I am scared as well for what the future holds. One can never underestimate the power of a God's desires, and I certainly hope that I will never be the man standing in the way...after all we have all heard those stories...and believe me, they don't end well!! :(
Wish me luck
