HOT DAY We woke up early and went to the Acropolis today! And Zeus’ palace. Cost was supposed to be 12 euro which included about eight different sights but everyone except for me got in for free since they had European student ID cards, and I only had to pay 6 euro since I had my old American student ID card. So amazing to see these places that we have studied since we were little! We were all sooo poor; my stupid bank still won’t let me withdraw money. So I kept borrowing money from Amanda and Shannon, bless those girls. I felt like such a bum! All day we just ate sesame circle bread things that remind me of bagels and only cost 60 cents each. Then in the afternoon we took our bus to ... read more

Woke up at 845 because I originally wanted to visit the Island of Delos, but was way too tired due to going to bed so late that I decided to go back to bed. It was a bummer, but it gives me another excuse to come back to Mykonos in the future:) We slept until about noon then decided to rent some 4 wheelers which were only 15 euro each for 24 hours! So only 7.50 each person since we could fit two people on each. I shared with Domi. And then we had to fill them with gas which ended up being 3 euro each. Such a good deal I thought, and ended up being the best part of the trip. We were able to ride around the entire island on them, and even stopped ... read more

Currently on the ferry to Mykonos. Just tried Greek coffee, quite interesting! I guess its like Bosnian coffee, the grinds are super fine and actually stay in the coffee, they settle to the bottom. We didn’t know this at first and added our sugar and stirred it up and took a sip and wanted to spit it back out. It was like drinking sand or dust! I was about to go complain about it but then Shannon realized that it might be like Bosnian coffee she had tried before. We let the coffee settle for a few minutes, and then tried it again and it was sooo much better once the coffee settled and stuck to the bottom. The water here is to blue! Like a deep, true blue. It’s a bit cloudy right now, but ... read more

Casa was scary! There were no women anywhere! Strange. Our taxi driver then brought us to an amazing restaurant, We all tried tagine (with vegtables) and coucous (Maury did and got an amazinggg couscous sauce!) We ate about 5 baskets of bread, salads, and ended with Moroccan tea! We then went home and to bed. In the morning we tried Moroccan breakfast, served by the hostel. Bread, jelly, butter, fresh orange juice, and café. Simple yet amazing. Then we trekked off through the ghetto of Casa to the second largest mosque in the world. So beautiful, and very modern I believe it was built in the early 1900’s. It was right next to the ocean, breathtaking. We couldn’t take the tour (it’s the only one in the world where non-Muslims are allowed in) because we needed ... read more

ok, so to start off, im typing less quickly as normal because I chopped part of my finger off with Eva’s knife tonight while I was cooking. I think I did nit because it makes me nervous when she watches me cook. She is like MASTER chef and has taught me how to cook the only things that I know how, so when I am faire le cuisine she watches me and somehow always finds a way to point out what I am doing COMPLETLEY wrong or how I am going to kill myself using her crazy intense cooking tools she brought to France with her from China! So today, I was chopping like I am CHEF (or so I wish) up my carrots for my stir-fry, and I turned to Eva to tell her how ... read more
