Shorts + Monasteries = A No Go

You are getting two posts in one week! How lucky do you feel?! :)

Well we started this week with the usual dose of classes. I must say, I actually am looking forward to getting back into accounting this summer, enough said. Then Tuesday night we did our last ethnography study. Nobody was in the mood for them from what I could see, but we all pushed through and got a few more interviews in. After we were finished, we headed out to an ASIAN RESTAURANT for dinner called Bonzai. It was pretty good, but nothing compared to the states. Still a great time. Plus fried bananas for dessert, drizzled in chocolate, need I say more?

Tina being crazy with the chopsticks! Love Shailee's reaction.. This was after me and her made walrus faces with them as well :)

Unique lights @ Bonzai. I want these for my bedroom..

Wednesday was our typical field trip day. This week we headed out to the Island of Ioannina, which is only about a fifteen minute ferry ride from downtown. It was a cute place, with only five hundred citizens, a whole lot of monasteries, and Ali Passa's House.

Ali Passa's house where he was decapitated. Those stairs to the right are where the scene of the crime happened. How lovely!

beautiful flowers.. I was so proud of myself for taking this picture!

Monasteries galore, and this island was so small too!

Houses on the lake... definitely not Lake Tapps or Mason Lake. You can't swim in this one.

I would've taken pictures of the monastery, but that's not allowed. Also, wearing shorts is not allowed in certain rooms (such as the sanctuary) but somehow Shailee and I snuck by the lady in charge of the monastery. It was beautifully adorned with pictures from floor to ceiling that depicted many different aspects of Jesus Christ, the saints, and other religious figures.

Tomorrow we are going to the Meteora Monasteries, I cannot wait! They're beautiful!

Post again this saturday or sunday!

Love you and miss you all,

Rochelle

P.S. 27 days for those of you keeping track :) I no longer care too much, but it's still kind of cool to know!
