Yesterday was our last day in Athens, so we decided to be as touristy as possible, and ride the double decker City Sightseeing Bus. It was actually a lot of fun, because we got to see parts of Athens that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Then when all of that was over with, we went and got our 2 euro gyros again! :) After lunch, we went back to the hotel, packed, and met up with the whole group to go to the New Acropolis Museum. It was really interesting, and we spent two hours examining ancient greek artifacts and spending time getting to know one another. After all of our adventures, we went out to dinner at one of Taso's favorite restaurants, and it was absolutely amazing. The vegetables over here are so much more fresh than back home. I adore them!
This morning we had to get up at 6:30 am, head down to the bus station at 7:30, take a bus to the other bus station, take a bus from that bus station to Ioannina that lasted 6 hours, and then another bus to the university. Needless to say, I'm pretty dang exhausted by busses. Now we are sitting in our room unpacking. My roommate's name is Anna, and she is an Economics Major who is graduating as soon as we get back. She's super nice, and was one of the girls I travelled over to Athens with from day one. Here's some pictures from yesterday, I haven't uploaded the random pictures I snapped today..
