Acropolis


We got to witness the raising of the flag today on the Acropolis because we got there so early. Like I mentioned before, this is very important to them because of the whole Nazi-flag-on-the-Acropolis thing. Plus we heard a story from Diamant about how one heroic Greek snuck up to the Acropolis in the middle of the night and tore down the Nazi flag and put up the Greek one! And he is still alive today. Greeks have A LOT of patriotism.

Last night Sam, Katie, and I went to a nearby taverna and drank wine to cheer Katie up, it worked! These past couple of days I've got to have some alone time with each of the girls and it's really nice. It's nice to get to know them without the rest of the group, I feel like we have all gotten really close to each other individually so that's nice.

This morning we did the Acropolis again and focused on the Erecthion. It was weird having our last trip up there! Then we shopped a bit, hung out at the apartment for a bit and then went to lunch at CYA. After I took a nap and worked on the outline of my 2nd paper.

We all walked around for a bit together before dinner. We ate at McDonalds, I got nuggets and they weren't bad! Then we stopped and got some wine for tonight. Andrew just got over here and we're thinking about going out for drinks later. Last day of class tomorrow!
