Brauron Round 2


View of Brauron

Sad news to report tonight: Katie got her wallet stollen at H and M tonight :( She was even being responsible! She had her purse in front of her AND it was zipped. Somehow they unzipped it and got it out. Luckily she only had 100 euros and some cards. Also they didn't take her passport or phone or camera so we're looking on the brightside.

Last night we attempted to go get Indian food at this place CYA suggested but it was closed so we went to this yummy Italian place called Armoa. I had probably one of the tastiest things I've had here. I got grilled aubergines with tomatoes, onions, garlic, with feta on top. Sooooo good. We then walked back and hung out before going to bed. I laugh so much with these girls, I'm starting to realize how much I'm going to miss them.

This morning we drove to Brauron to look at the Temple of Artemis there. We had already been but it is beautiful so it was nice to go again. We had to hike up this brambly path up to see the view though and it was a bit unpleasant. I was scared because it was so steep and slippery I was worried I would fall and I have scratches all over :( But we saw a shepard down below in the valley with a bunch of sheep with bells on, just like a movie! Then we talked about the temple and all of that stuff.

We went back to CYA and had lunch there before getting a freddo and going home. I finished my first paper, the only one that's due before I leave and plan on starting the 2nd one tomorrow. I'm not that worried about it because I have about 50 days to finish it. Then I took a bit of a nap before heading out shopping with Katie and Sam.

We went to a bookstore that had books in English so I could be sure I would have something for the plane ride. Popi, the housing director, got back to me and said I could stay in the apartment until Monday morning so that's settled. Now we're hanging out and we may take Katie out for a drink to cheer her up. Luckily her parents were able to go straight to the bank and take care of everything and she had a backup credit card so it's not so much of an inconvience. Plus she has to get a new license anyway!

Acropolis again tomorrow!
