Rising junior running back Gaston Miller and rising senior safety Joel Caldwell are spending May 4-29 studying abroad in Greece. The duo is taking a three-credit hour course called “Uncovering Greek Religion: Cults, Sanctuaries & Festivals in the Ancient World.” While being immersed in a foreign culture for the first time in his life, Miller will provide Vanderbilt fans with updates of his experiences in Greece on VUCommodores.com.

Wednesday, May 27
Hello,
Today is Wednesday May 27. All is well here in Greece. We have been visiting sites as usual. Today we went to the National Museum in Athens and saw many original copies of great Ancient Greek sculptures and things of that sort.
This is likely to be my last post of my visit to Greece as tomorrow we begin to give our individual final presentations for the course. I should depart the airport in Athens and head for Paris on early Saturday morning. I should touch back down in Nashville around 4 p.m. on Saturday.
I would like to give thanks first to God, then everyone who has helped or supported me in my special travels. I have had a really great time and learned so much from this experience. I have also enjoyed posting and keeping all of you, who read my posts, updated. I would like to thank you as well.
Thank you and I should see you soon.
Sincerely,
