The Greek Alphabet

Kalimera!

It is Sunday morning here in Athens- a beautiful sun shining day and I have to sit inside and force myself to learn the Greek alphabet. I don't know if you have ever looked at this alphabet but compared to the English one- they are very similar except a P sounds like an R- there is no C, some letters are read with two (such as the Greek letter Theta- it is sounds like TH) But enough about school work- I didn't come to Greece for that!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the Sounio beach and then watch the sunset behind the Temple of Poseidon- both were equally as beautiful. 

Tomorrow will be my first full week of classes- wish me luck 

Here is the Temple of Posiedon

My first look at the Aegean Sea

 the Friday morning market! ( I got eggplant, potatoes, eggs, plums, oranges, wine, and some olives!)

 We had an invitation to go to the President of the Dikemes College (our college in Athens) home for a garden party. Over 100 were in attendance and the food and wine were amazing!

More photos to come- hope you enjoy them!
