Back home in Athens after such a wonderful week of traveling! Feels good to be home.
Last night we went into Thira to watch the sunset. It was so beautiful. There were so many people there which sort of killed the mood but it was still incredible. We had a sunset photo shoot up at the top of the city and I don't think I've ever laughed so much. It was so fun. We made friends with a Danish couple and took turns taking pictures of each other. The view was fantastic, I'm pretty sure I've actually seen where they take postcard pictures!
We went to dinner after the sunset and it was so delicous. We split fried zucchini balls and spicy cheese dip and I got the meatballs which are so better here! We finished watching the sunset as we were eating and continued laughing through the night. When we got back to the hostel we did a little night swimming before turning in.
This morning we got up and ate breakfast overlooking the view again before heading into town to walk around and do some shopping. It was SO crowded. Two cruise ships made stops in Santorini today so unfortunately the crowds were brutal. It's so strange living the life of a tourist here even though I've been here almost 6 weeks. Slightly annoying but a fun experience.
We had gyros and then headed back to the hotel to lay by the pool until it was time to leave for the port. Stavros, the ownder of the hotel drove us to the port and even kissed us on the cheek before dropping us off! He is so sweet, he went out of his way to help us many times. We hung out at the port for an hour or so and then boarded the ferry. It was about five hours but I read the whole time so it flew by. We had to take a taxi from the port because the metro workers decided it was time for another strike. The museum we were supposed to see and write a paper on was closed because they were on strike. So that worked out great. These Greeks never want to work.
Class tomorrow!
