Kalimera!

Hello again! Well, classes have begun, and we were quickly reminded that we WILL be doing homework and studying while here. The most enjoyable part so far I found is learning Greek! Not only do we have a hilarious teacher, Vicki, but it is so much more fun learning a language where you can actually practice with people everywhere you go! It's a total different experience than learning it solely in the classroom. After classes today a large group of us went into Athens ON OUR OWN. Growing up so fast! Did some shopping at H&M (No idea why these are so scarce in America!) and also went to a sandal maker's shop called The Poet. He makes leather sandals to fit your feet perfectly! Common purchase for HUGgers! We quickly ran out of time and had to go catch the metro so we wouldn't miss the last bus to Porto Rafti. I can't wait to go back so I'll have more time to explore the plaka (flee market shops). It has been quite chilly here lately and we're getting lots of rain on and off. This doesn't stop us from exploring and enjoying all our time here! Tomorrow will be much more relaxed. Bonnie and I plan to go down to a coffee shop by the water and focus on homework! Of course a walk to Yegos (local grocery store) will be made, as well. Learning something new everyday about Greece, the Greeks!, and myself. Missing everyone at home! Thanks for reading!
