Wandering, Wandering... Story of My Life!

I don't have quite as large of an update as before, but i figured I would catch up to today before I go out of town this weekend and have more stories to tell! :)

Last night, after classes, I went with a couple of girls to Monastiraki and Plaka. They are two districts in the city with tons of shopping and cool places and are also close to the Acropolis and Agora. So we went wandering and checked out some new places, including Hadrian's Library and TONS of lame tourist shops. But it was a nice walk and really enjoyable for sure. It was also nice to spend some time with those girls, since I am in a couple of classes with them and am getting to know them! After lots of somewhat aimless wandering and fun photo-taking ops, we headed back to our Academic Center. We chatted with some other people and I headed back home after a bit. I had something to eat and relaxed, journaling and reading and listening to music. It was really nice. After I almost fell asleep reading, I decided not to go out and wander some more that evening!

There is a really sweet old man in my neighborhood that I always say hello to, but have not had the courage to actually speak to in Greek! Today he started to talk to me in Greek, as he did yesterday, and after trying to say that I understand little, he smiled and said goodbye. :) I will have a real conversation with him! It's a goal! :)

This morning was great. I got up, after a nice night of sleep, I showered, did laundry, organzied my things, etc. I went wandering and got some school supplies, checked out the awesome fruit market and bought some yummies, and finally got back to an ATM. Then, after that I am back at our Academic Center to get some homework done and eat lunch! :)

Well, I'm heading out for the weekend to Meteora tomorrow morning! I will have tons of stories and updates and photos after the weekend!
