photo update!

Judy and I at the President of CYA's house for a garden party 

The Greek Orthodox church in my neighborhood that we for class we had to attend a Sunday service- very ordinate and beautiful on the inside and even though I didn't understand a word that was said, it was a very touching mass

Stafanos, the Greek man that sat next to me on the bus ride up to the temple of Aphaia on the island of Aegena, he kept trying to set me up with his 29 year old son that lives in Houstan- "what is your facebook, I have a really nice son for you"

The Temple of Aphaia, the only temple for this Greek Goddess in all Greece

On our ferry ride back to Athens from the island Aegena- Beau trying to feed (and in the end successfully) the sea gulls

For class we went to the Archaeological Museum of Athens

On the way up to the Acropolis- the view of the neighborhood of Plaka in the background

Cait and I making the hike up the hill to see the sunset behind the Acropolis

 Our first look at the Acropolis, this is the Temple of Nike with the Parthenon (under reconstruction) behind it

Taylor (pictured), Katie, Brigitta and I on our trek through Monastiraki- which is a neighborhood of Athens, to find the opera singers. We never found them but we found some amazing ice cream instead

One (of the many) amazing dinners that I prepared- egg with craisens, red wine, cheese, tomato, lettuce, spinach, carrot, some jam, cucumber, and some grapes- it was amazing!

Megan- my roommate- being adventurous and trying my carrot with Tahinni (which is sesame seed paste), she liked it by the way!

Syntigma (which means constitution in Greek) square. Shopping, protesting, and tourist sites, and entertainment can all be found at this site in Athens

A common site for me to come home to- Laura playing the guitar and some singing accompaniment by Nick, Jen, and Chris (not pictured).
