This is at the Venetian castle we visited in the Peloponesse in one of our last days, it was so beautiful!
Well, the end is near. We have nearly every day and night planned out for the rest of the week :( I'm excited to come home but will be very sad to leave the city I now love and all of my new friends. I've decided to stay in a CYA apartment Saturday and Sunday night instead of a hostle. It's easier and I feel that it's safer so I won't have to worry about people going through/stealing my stuff. Luckily Andrew will be here so I won't have to be alone when all my other roommates leave Saturday morning. There's also another girl in our class who's staying until Monday as well in an apartment so they may put is in the same one, who knows!
Yesterday after a painful two and a half hours at the Acropolis museum we decided to go straight to dinner because we were starving. We ate at this restaurant in Plaka that we've been to a couple of times. Andrew met us there and we all split saganaki, gyros, and wine. After we finished eating and chatted for awhile we went into Monostriaki to find a place to watch the World Cup finals. We found a great table at this little taverna, got a beer, and watched the game.
This may come as a surprise to many of you but I think I've found a sport I actually like to watch besides wrestling! I never knew it could happen. I was not bored at all! Soccer is really easy to follow and it's insane who intense it is. People were falling left and right and getting fouls all over the place. One guy even got literally kicked right in the heart! So intense.
We left around 11:15 but it was still 0-0 so there was another half an hour until overtime. We left because we had to be at the Acropolis at 8:00 in the morning and we had a pretty long walk back home. We got home and chatted a bit more while in bed. I love how our rooms are set up. Sam has her own room back in the back but us four sort of share a room. There's a pull out door in between Justine and Anita and Katie and I's rooms so we're sort of always together. It's really nice though because we all face each other. We have lots of good conversation and laughs before bedtime each night.
This morning was tough, we were pretty tired. But we were at the Acropolis which is always fun. We only had an hour and a half there! I think Diamant's realizing the pace of this class is really fast so we were thankful for more free time. We sat and had a freddo (this yummy coffee/slushy thing) and then walked back to the apartment. We had lunch and now we're back in the apartment again. I think I'll try and write my paper this afternoon. We decided to get Indian food tonight, I'm so excited!
