I dont even know where to begin! I have been in Greece for 5 days and to say the least, I love it! After arriving in Athens on the 5th, we stayed there for two nights and got a little taste of the city. We wine and dined on roof top gardens and toured the beautiful acropolis. To ease any uneasy minds about what has been on the news about Greece, I was unable to see any visible evidence of riots and protesters. (we stayed on the opposite side of the city). But now I am on Paros island in my beautiful dorm room which is a few steps from the beach! So far we have taken a tour of the island (which included cliff jumping :) and have gotten to hang out with the locals. The Greeks are so nice and welcoming and I'm really loving my time here. Not only have we been able to meet many Greeks but because we are staying in a hostel, we have been able to interact with some travelers as well. It's such a cool experience to be in a place with people from all over the world. I am enjoying my photography class so fat, but unfortunately I will not be able to upload any pictures from my camera while I am here, so all the pictures you see are from my phone.
Beautiful! Ever since watching Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, I've wanted to see Greece- and your blog may be the closest I'll ever get- so keep those posts coming! I'm so glad that you're having a good time! :)
