So my day began with the norm – wake up, shower, and breakfast. This was followed up by a quiz for our City States class. We didn’t actually have class just a quiz so I can’t complain. Then after class we had to meet with our teams to discuss who will be speaking when and the details about that. Then it was for a day of shopping. Greek shopping is an experience. First – the only store that seems safe is H&M (which are on every corner so it’s a good choice). Every other store just seems like its either work clothes or old people clothes. And shoe stores – they are an adventure of their own, Kimmy would love it. They are all just on display and you aren’t supposed to touch them. The display isn’t like it is at home though; they are set up on the floor all over next to each other in a huge square/rectangle. Then you just say which ones you like. Then it’s the sizes. European sizes are different and confusing and I feel as though they lie at times. Then it’s finding the stores. We go downtown and there are like 4 post offices and a thousand bakeries but finding the stores you want to shop in seem so difficult. Anyways, after walking about I did come across some successful purchases. I got a (fake) leather jacket from the Greek store Zara and jeans from H&M.
After shopping we went back home and relaxed before our Modern Greek class. After class, I went to the neighbors for dinner – burritos, so good – and then sleep. A long day of field trips tomorrow and then Friday we leave for our trip!!! Which we found out in Greek is going to be our best trip we have. Apparently there is going to be some great jewelry and it is a very romantic place. I’m excited!
