7-16-09 Greek Living

Ok so I just got back from roaming around Piraeus by myself which I have to say was rather interesting and got to do things on my own and find my own way and it was really fun. I also figured out how to get the iternet to work, I had to go to 2 starbucks and then this place called 4thconnect or something like that and then purchase an internet card and from there I had 20 hours of internet, so I used my 2 hours that my computer battery had and yeah life was good. But so anyway my time in Greece has been nothing less than what I imagined, I got to see ancient temples which were marvelous I got to see where the first olympic games were held in 1886, which was phenomenal and tried some pretty awesome food, got to go to a greek island, talk with authentic Greek people. Like today I went out and bought 2 shirts for myself because I am low on shirts and I sturck up a conversation with the shop owner about the Greek economy and he asked me how the U.S. economy was doing and if it was bouncing back, it was really cool and so we chatted for about 15 minutes would have been shorter if I knew Greek but since I dont I had to interpret some broken up english and piece things together. When we were on the island of San Trini I witnessed one of the most amazing sunsets I think that I have ever seen. I cannot say certain things that I did for liability reasons, but be sure and ask about San Trini sometime and I will let you know what I cannot yet disperse. Also I went to one of my first Black Sand beaches and we also went to a winery on the island which won the best winery of Europe in 2008 so needless to say that the wine was anything but amazing. Another first was being able to stay in a hostel which was a lot nice than I had ever imagined, we were staying at Tony's Villa in case anyone of you reading this might ever wonder out to San Trini, which was great ohh and I was skyping with my sister really late in Greece but really early back in the states and this Irish guy comes out in his boxers and tells me that I need to be quite cause other people are trying to sleep. But yeah it was a great time. Thank you again everyone for this amazing once in a lifetime experience. So tonight we are headed off to Turkey and I will let you know how that goes, bye love you all
