well Athens is a BIG city. There are so many people and so many buildings. You literally can't see anything but buildings. Lauren and I were going to stay in Corinth but we got there and the campground was closed (they were really nice though and let us stay for one night free). We decided to head to Athens where there is a cheap hostle (10euro/night). Before we left Corith we took a bus to Ancient Corinth and wandered around the old ruins, they're pretty incredible. We stayed at the hostle last night, they are really nice there. In our room we have bunk beds and there are a couple other travlers. Florien is a guy from Germany and then Nick from the UK and Emanual from Spain (Emanual's flight lost his luggage in Amsterdam....but they found it and returned it to him today). Today lauren and I went to the National Museum of Archeaology and I got alot of pictures of statues. Tomorrow we plan to go to the Acropolis and see the Parthanon. I think it'll be pretty neat. They also have a cheap little bar at the hostle and we had a couple beers last night, it's the first we've had on the trip. When we were in Bari though on our last night there a nice man invited us to dinner and made us pasta (i think it's the best meal we've had on the trip) with bruccetta and wine. And his friend came over and we played backgammon and had some drinks. So other then the creepy men, most people have been really nice to us and tried their best to help us out.
In the next couple days i want to do a day trip to delphi and thebes, there are supposed to be some great sites there. Then we want to take a ferry to Crete and stay there for a while, there's camping and even cheaper hostles (6 euro/night).
Mom, Lauren and I are eating well, we've gone to a couple markets and bought some groceries to last us a few days. We made sandwiches and had fruit for breakfast. It's a lot less expensive than going to a deli. We've decided to save Lauren's Birthday as a night we'll actually go out for dinner. She's going to be 21 in 4 days CRAZY!
Anyway I still miss everyone. Being here makes me apprecitate home. I would never want to live here. There are so many people and no open spaces and everything is covered in garbage. Canada is just better.
Love And Hugs
