When we pulled up yesterday to the University of Ioannina, we were less than impressed. It was most likely because of the 7 hours we spent on the busses, and the fact that we pulled into the outskirts of town, but we basically thought we were stranded in a town relative to Pullman. Boy, were we wrong! Today we ventured into the city, and it actually turned out to be a CITY! Great shopping, cute cafes, and a beautiful lake as well! I've come to be obsessed with leather bracelets, and here they come in every color and design for around 2 to 3 euros! It's a problem. I also got a fantastic scarf, and a few little goodies for some friends back home. One of the biggest differences between Ioannina and Athens, is the fact that not nearly as many people speak English here, whereas in Athens it was around 70% or so did. It became apparent today as we were ordering our gyros for lunch that it would be different here. However, the gelato people knew exactly what we wanted :) :) So far so good! Tonight we are going out to explore the night life and see what it's like around the city when the sun goes down. I promise to be safe, don't worry about me!
Lots of fantastic shops throughout downtown!
Some of the great bracelet purchases :) I have the pink sleeves!
had to represent Theta while abroad!
The first store we went into, naturally!
First glimpse of Ioannina!
Nap time now! More adventures to come :)
Love,
Rochelle
