Best Free Dinner Ever With The Cutest Couple


The day began like normal – shower, breakfast, getting ready for class, etc.  Then it was off to Sanctuaries and Festivals.  Class was pretty good.  After that we had to make our way to the National Archeology Museum again for our Archeology class.  On the way down Corinne and I picked up a delicious treat and had to pry ourselves away from the woman who was going on and on about her daughter.  It was cute.  The museum was great – he discussed sculpture.  Here is an example of something we chatted about:


It was a good time and we stayed until we got sho-ed away from the employees (museums close promptly at 3).  On the way home we picked up some amazing pizza that we discovered last week.  We also had to take a photo of a common occurrence in Greece.  Mopeds tend to take the sidewalks and a lot of the time we take the streets.


Once home we only have a tiny amount of time before Modern Greek so I made my way up to the roof to enjoy some sunlight.  In Greek we had a quiz, which was not the best but the anticipation for the night made it worth it.  The Munn’s decided that they wanted to host dinner for groups of 4 every week we are here.  I signed up for the first with Corinne, Tina, and Anna.  So the girls came over a little after 7, we finished up getting ready (we all decided to look very nice and wear dresses), and made our way to their apartment.  It was such a cute place and such an amazing time.  It was nice to get to talk to them more individually.  We enjoyed some amazing pistachios from Aegina and wine (I found some red wine here that I actually enjoy) and then it was onto dinner.  It was an amazing pasta dish with olives (yes Tone – you heard it…. I had olives and loved it) and a salad.  We stayed for hours just talking about tons of stuff until we were all basically falling asleep.  Mary Lou is a Sag so we have tons in common (Marky Mark is a Cancer…. Hmmm).  I came home and relaxed.  Laike (the street market) is tomorrow so that means tons of cheap and amazing fruits and veggies.  We are hoping to find a place to dance the night away, going to the beach on Saturday to do some homework, and then relaxing Sunday for our big trip on Tuesday.  Life is good.
