Busy, busy, busy...

Hello everyone! I just wanted you all to know that I already typed this whole blog out, and it did not save it! So this one will probably be short and sweet.

This past weekend I was in Athens for a volleyball tournament! It was really fun! If you do not count my team losing every game we played, it was a good weekend! The only team that brought home metals, was the girls soccer team. They took second, out of two teams! The boys basketball team should have taken the gold, but they had some very unfair refs! That was probably the most disappointing loss of the weekend. Besides the sports, I went out one night while we were there! We first went downtown to the Parliament building and saw the Parthenon from afar. It is amazing no matter what distance you see it from! We got home at about 6am, and I had to catch the bus at 9:30. It was tough, but I made it through the game. The only thing that was missing were my knee pads. I will need to buy some since I still have huge bruises all over my knees!

Right before I left on the Athens trip, I did one of the most impulsive things of my life: I booked a trip to Santorini with my roommate Alfredo. We booked flights and our hostel in one hour. Now we are changing everything! We have more people coming with so we changed the hostel, and now we decided to take a train and ferry. It will take much longer, but we will save alot of money! We are going the last weekend in May and I can not wait! It seems like it will never come, but I should be staying busy, especially starting next week!

Spring break is in one week from tomorrow! We are flying to Rome to see the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, and the Spanish Steps. Then we are off to Florence to see the famous sculpture of David and eat some world famous gelato. If you are not sure what gelato is, it is like ice cream but much better! After Florence, we are off to Venice to take as many gondola rides as possible! From Venice, we fly to Paris! I can not wait to see everything there!! The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triumph, the Champs Elysses, and the Louvre. After Paris, we fly back to Thessaloniki to spend Easter in Greece. We will still have another week to spend exploring whatever we want! Its going to be a crazy two weeks.

I posted some new pictures for you to look at today! I hope you like them! I am slowly collecting pictures from other people so they will probably be in random order. Sorry for the confusion! But enjoy them like I do! Have a great week, and I will tell you all about my trip when I get back! Bye!
