Thursday was mostly a relaxing day for me. A big part of the group climbed the mountain again, to a different spot, and got stuck wandering in a cloud for 20-30 minutes. We had a big get together led by Leslie (with some input from Dr. Hopper) about free travel, which got us all thinking and excited about that.
It looks like I might be hitting 6 countries - Italy, Germany and/or Switzerland, France, Ireland, and England. Gina and I will (likely) take out from here, and meet Chris in Germany and/or Switzerland.
Yesterday (which was Friday, I suppose, but days have no meaning here), we had even classes, and I had Aerobics. Let me just say that Billy Blanks will kick your butt. Goodness.
Last night, a big group of us went to go see Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End here in Porto Rafti. The movie theatre is just a giant outdoor space with lots of separate padded chairs, some tables, and reclining lawn chairs as the front row (where I sat). Sin
ce my pictures aren't up yet, I've stolen this one from Beth. Anyway, we had such a great time. The movie was good (I could go into more detail, but this is not a movie review post), I thought, and the company was great. We took millions of pictures of this unique (but completely awesome) movie theatre - why don't we do that in the States? The movie started at 9:15, but we didn't get back to the Artemis until 12:30, because the movie had not one, but two intermissions. The first one scared us all - we were not expecting it. Well, we weren't expecting the second one, either, but the first one served its probable intended purpose - to buy Coke and popcorn. Even movies in Greece are better.Tonight, we go to see the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, and we get to watch the sunset over the water. I'm considering snorkeling (or napping!) after classes today.
(Aside: That's one of the reasons days have no meaning here - if we're not traveling, we're in class, Saturdays and all.)
But I wouldn't trade a second of it.
