I guess I should throw up a couple of those pics huh. Well seeing as I've taken nearly a thousand thus far (I wish I was kidding), I'd be damned if I sat here uploading them all, so here are a couple that truly highlight the experience.
The American College of Thessaloniki. One of the two buildings that makes up the campus. The other is the library. No chance of getting lost in this bad boy.
It was Halloween. I'm in Greece. So clearly I had to whip out the toga. Don't act like you wouldn't do the same.
Group shot. Yay.
This place is so fricken beautiful it's disgusting.
Chillin on top of an active volcano. Twas an explosive experience.
Sunset in Santorini. This is the stuff postcards are made of.
Went to a professional football (soccer) game this past weekend. The crowd was really wild and reckless. I'm talking about fireworks before the team even scored.
And when they score in overtime? Whew. The place goes wild.
During my fall break I went to Crete and took a tour of the Peloponnese. This is the ancient Amphitheater in Ancient Messene. Twas quite large.
The boardwalk in Thessaloniki. It's really cute and gets awfully live in the evenings.
I get to look at this every night before the sandman comes and takes me away. Pretty schweet.
So now that pics are there, I guess I should add some words in addition to the captions huh? Well... let's see. Greece is awesome. I've been here for about a month and a half now and I have 6 weeks left. Holy goodness. Where does time go?
This experience is shaping out to be exactly what I wanted it to be and so much more. Even though I received some earth shattering news within a week or two of my arrival, I'm glad I decided to stay and see it to the end.
I have midterms coming up soon which means I have to put the 'study' part back into this trip, but eh, we'll see.
Um... what else?
I'm making it my goal to update at least once a week. We'll see how that goes.
These are some AWESOME pics. While checking 'em out I kept wondering where you were - then I saw where you wrote Greece. I can only imagine the memories you will bring back that I'm sure are to last a lifetime. A few of those pics are simply beautiful.
