After my last blog post, we went out in the hopes of getting a good beer and some baklava. I guess that the concept of going out for dessert is more of an American thing though because we ended up just getting wine, cherries and bread hahaha. And then, they brought out ANOTHER liter of wine and more cherries! So we asked for the check because we were all like "oh crap they're gonna charge us for this and we didn't even order the extras." Well, turns out all of that - our 2 liters of wine, bread and cherries - was all on the house. Awwww! Must've been those British accents again! We felt bad so we left them 20 euro anyways and then they came running down the street at us trying to make us take the money back! We didn't of course.
Then I called my parents and watched Mamma Mia!
(side note - someone is whistling Katy Perry's "Firework" right behing me in the computer lab...)
The next day, we slept in, got brunch on the boat, and then went to the museum district of Athens and saw the Benaki museum. Basically, a museum of all things Greek from all different time periods. We also got baklava (yay!) and nachos (rando) that were made with actual Nacho Cheese Doritos. I highly recomend both!
Then it was time to get back on the boat.
Today was a class day which has been very productive! Class in the morning, got back my paper. Class in the afternoon got back a test. A's all around which is nice cause papers are always a toss up! In between class I went to the gym, laid out, ate lunch and went to yoga. So relaxed right now!
After dinner I went to a "Big Explorer Seminar" on Bulgaria. Basically learned about communism and such but what stuck out what that Varna is a prominent organized crime / drug trafficking area. Wonderful!
Now we're passing right through Istanbul. Its incredible! Everything is lit up and we're probably only 100 yards from the land (not sure how thats possible, but we are!)
Tomorrow is another class day which will probably look very similar to today.
The title of my blog blog post is a shoutout to my parents. F Harry Stowe is the way you say "Thank you" in Greek! Its not spelled like that but if you say it really fast thats what it sounds like! So FHarryStowe mom and dad for giving me the world! I'm a little over half-way through the trip and I've already learned and experience so much. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything!
Toodles Noodles :)
