Beach Day

This morning we decided to get some fresh breakfast, so we walked to the farmers market and got some delicous fresh fruit. They also had fresh fish, olives, artisan rugs, the works. Then we made our way to our first class, which was just orientation and meeting our professor. Then after a quick pita, my roommates and I decided to try the transit system and make our way to the beach. The transit system of Athens is one of the best. They have buses, trollies, trams and Metros. After the hour bus ride to the coast, we reached the beach which was beautiful. It was super crowded and there was loud american music playing and lots and lots of games. They even had inflatable slides and things in the water.

After a long day of sun, and salt water, Im ready to take a really cold shower. Btw Zach if your reading this I saw the largest spider crawl out of our shower drain today...just thought you should know.

Tonight we are going to a Saturday night special at a local bar. With all you can eat gyros fruit cheesepies and wine. Then tomorrow is our first day trip to the acropolis. Monday is going to be our first overnight trip to Delphi, which Im really excited to get out of the city and see the real towns of Greece.
