Isn't this water beautiful?! We went to Eleusis today, it was fun! In the morning we spent an hour or so at Eleusis looking at a temple to Demeter that housed the Eleusian mysteries, which were this weird secret club that no one knows much about because you coulnd't talk about anything. It's kind of cool, kind of like a fraternity/sorority too haha. We looked around the museum and then we went to hike up this mountainside to eat at this Gypsy castle...I'm not too sure what the point of that was but the view was nice!

Then we got to go to the beach and swim in the Gulf of Corinth and the water was so so amazing! The beach was sort of small and it was only us 20 CYAers, I can't believe how uncrowded they are! It was near this mountain range and behind it were all these cute outdoor restaurants and shops. The water was literally as clear as bathwater! It was so cool and refreshing, we spent so much time in the ocean. It was unbelieveably blue but a bit salty. The beach was rocky but I like that a lot better than sand. It was a bit rough and hot but nice. We laid out for about two hours, still no sunburn!

My roommates and I have really bonded recently. I'm going to miss them so much! Dora even said one night last week: "I already feel closer to you guys than I do my roommate of one year back home" I thought that was so sweet! She's a little shy but so sweet when you get to know her. We also talked to some guys in the other class today, they were very nice.

We have a long day tomorrow :(
